Our intestine is a forge of many presences of a good nature but also of a pathogenic nature. Viruses, bacteria and parasites coexist in a heterogeneous environment where digestion catabolites, waste elements, acidic liquid substances, starches, sugars, proteins, mineral salts, many transformed substances arrive.
If our body is in good health, our immune system is generally able to counteract pathogens that are dangerous for our well-being, but sometimes we find ourselves in a debilitated condition and some forms of infections that colonize our intestine prevail.

Causes of intestinal infections

Often antibiotics are prescribed which, on the one hand, eradicate the bacteria, on the other hand, further impoverish the good intestinal flora. It is therefore important to identify the cause of the problem so as not to further worsen the condition with do-it-yourself remedies.
