Acidophilus is the shortened name for the bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus, a type of "friendly" or beneficial bacteria that normally live in the intestine. When you take an antibiotic, the "friendly" bacteria are often
eliminated, along with the bacteria that cause the infection. This may lead to diarrhea, excess gas, and vaginitis.

Deficiencies of Acidophilus have been associated with health problems such as food allergies, constipation, irritable bowel, Candidiasis and several types of vaginitis. Lactobacillus Bifidus may be useful in the
treatment of cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis. L. Bifidus also aids in the synthesis of B vitamins. Supplementation with Acidophilus may also reduce blood cholesterol, aid in digestion, reduce levels of Candida and other fungi, and enhance in the absorption of nutrients.

Some varieties of yogurt contain Lactobacillus acidophilus and other
types of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Bifidus, S. Thermophilus, S. Bifidus. Read the ingredients list and look for these names or for "live active culture". Avoid types of yogurt that are high in calories and contain a lot of sugar and fat; also frozen yogurt generally does not contain any of the "friendly" bacteria. Other diary products that contain beneficial bacteria are buttermilk, cheeses, kefir, and acidophilus milk. Sauerkraut that is raw and salt free also contains Acidophilus.

Another beneficial bacteria is Bacillus laterosporus. Some supplements may also include other bacteria, like Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, S. Bifidus. These bacteria also help to restore beneficial bacteria and bring a balance to digestive tract. If you avoid dairy products, look for non-diary varieties of the tablets and capsules.

Take the capsules on an empty stomach, about one hour before meals with water. For vaginitis and yeast infections, plain (not fruit flavored) cultured yogurt or Acidophilus capsules or tablets can be dissolved in lukewarm water that contains a little apple cider vinegar and used as a douche. Yeast vaginitis responds favorably to L. Bifidus; it helps to eliminate the organisms which cause the itching and discharge.
