It feeds beneficial bacteria, improves regularity, and is linked to lower colorectal cancer risk. Most people get less than half the fiber they need daily.Q: Do probiotics actually work for gut health?A: It depends entirely on the strain and your specific condition. Most people take generic products because a label said "digestive health," with no evidence that strain helps their symptoms. For certain conditions like antibiotic-associated diarrhea, specific strains have real data behind them.Q: Are gut detox and cleanse products safe?A: No. Your liver and kidneys handle detoxification naturally without supplemental help. These products are expensive blends of herbs, laxatives, and fillers with no credible clinical evidence, and some cause diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.drmelona.comPatient Portal: https://drmelona.com/patient-portal/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/polymathforever/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctormelona🔔 Subscribe for evidence-based digestive health, nutrition science, and disease prevention from a board-certified gastroenterologist.ABOUT DR.
