Lactobacillus reuteri

Lactobacillus reuteri is a lactic acid producing bacterium that can live in the gut and on mucosal surfaces. It is especially known for producing substances that can influence which bacteria are able to grow in the local gut environment. This makes it relevant for microbial balance near the intestinal lining. Lower levels may suggest reduced support from bacteria that help keep the local gut environment stable, which may be seen together with sensitive digestion, recurring stool changes, mucus in stool, gas, bloating, or loose stools. Higher levels may reflect increased lactic acid fermentation, which may be seen together with gas, bloating, softer stools, or temporary digestive changes.
