Reply to "Alkaline system vs acid stopping pouch infection"

CTBarristerMember

This somewhat explain the benefits of alkalinity vs. acidity, which really has nothing to do with treatment of bacterial overgrowth which is underlying the pouchitis situation of many:

On the issue of bacterial overgrowth, I have observed that many of the probiotic drinks on the market contain apple cider vinegar as an ingredient, which is presumably on the theory that a more acidic bowel, while possibly impacting on cell structure long term (see above article) also reduces bacterial levels.

I do not see any correlation between alkalinity or boosting alkalinity and fighting bacterial overgrowth.
