According to the World Health Organization and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, probiotics are defined as "live organisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." The majority of probiotics found in food products, like yogurt, are similar to the healthy bacteria present in your intestinal tract. The consumption of probiotics are said to help prevent and treat diarrhea, urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome and pouchitis, which is a condition that can occur after the colon has been surgically removed.
