During the festive season we tend to over indulge ourselves with rich foods and drinks, often causing uncomfortable sensations in our gut! Over indulgence, stress and other life circumstances can all affect our digestive health. When we have digestive difficulties the root of the problem may not be where the symptoms manifest themselves. It is therefore important to treat the digestive system as a whole and look at your eating style, when you eat, what you eat and how your body digests it. At Lifestyle Pharmacy our trained staff can advise you on a suitable treatment course as well as consulting with a qualified nutritionalist on your behalf to provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan.

For people with digestive problems, food allergies or even Candida, pre and probiotics may help. We sell a range of treatments that help prepare the intestine and replace the flora. Lifestyle Pharmacy research all the products on the market to make sure ours have the highest volumes of friendly bacteria and, because of the way the products are formulated, all the bacteria get to the parts of the intestine they are needed.

Probiotics and prebiotics - what's the difference?
Probiotics are the live friendly bacteria which contribute to the health of our digestive system. Lifestyle Pharmacy recommends Pharma Nord's Bio-Culture which contains living friendly (lactobacillus) probiotic bacteria. Use in combination with a prebiotic (see below) for a healthier digestive system.

Prebiotics are the food for the friendly bacteria. They can be added to the diet to increase the chances of beneficial bacteria growing and thriving in the digestive system. Lifestyle recommends Molkosan Vitality from A.Vogel (previously known as Bioforce), an easy-to-use powdered drink made from fermented whey, high in L(+) lactic acid and rich in soluble fibre.
