Abstract :
Intestinal diseases pose a significant challenge to global healthcare systems, impacting millions worldwide and presenting complex treatment hurdles. Ranging from inflammatory bowel conditions to infectious gastroenteritis, these diseases not only lower quality of life but also come with substantial economic and health risks. Recently, the therapeutic potential of probiotics in managing various intestinal disorders has gained recognition. Among probiotics, Lactobacillus species, particularly Lactobacillus Helveticus, have garnered attention for their health-promoting attributes. Lactobacillus Helveticus, a strain within the Lactobacillus genus, is being studied for its ability to modulate intestinal health and alleviate symptoms associated with a variety of intestinal diseases. By interacting with the gut microbiota and the host immune system, Lactobacillus Helveticus shows promise in maintaining intestinal balance and treating conditions like inflammatory bowel cancer, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Necrotizing enterocolitis, and gastrointestinal and liver diseases. Additionally, its therapeutic potential extends to influencing the course of chronic diseases such as Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis. This paper delves into the exploration of Lactobacillus Helveticus s role in addressing a spectrum of intestinal disorders and chronic conditions, ranging from Crohn’s disease to Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. Through an extensive review of existing literature, this study sheds light on the mechanisms through which Lactobacillus Helveticus contributes to intestinal equilibrium, paving the way for promising therapeutic interventions.
