I am Peter from Malacca. I am not sure if it is due to food contaminations, but whenever I travel for work, I tend to suffer from diarrhoea during these trips.
You might be suffering from traveler’s diarrhea. Traveler’s diarrhea affects about 20-50% of travelers and the most common source of exposure to disease-causing microorganisms is ingestion of contaminated drinking water and food. This will disrupt the gut microflora balance, resulting in an increased frequency of bowel movement accompanied by abdominal cramps, nausea and fever.
My husband is tested positive for Helicobacter pylori. Is it vital to treat it as he does not have any abdominal discomfort?
H. pylori infection is a condition that occurs when the bacterium, Helicobacter pylori thrive in the stomach or the first part of small intestine, duodenum. This infection can cause chronic gastritis and lead to peptic ulcer disease by damaging the protective mucous lining of the stomach and duodenum. Therefore, adequate therapy for patients with H. pylori is important in the treatment and prevention of peptic ulcers.
The primary goal of therapy for H. pylori infection is to eradicate or destroy the bacterium and antibiotics are usually prescribed for this reason. Apart from prescribed antibiotics, current researchers also suggest that probiotics (friendly bacteria) such as Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 may be included as part of the standard therapy for H.pylori infection. These probiotics are playing a role in replenishing the gut microflora balance after an antibiotic treatment to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables appears to protect against infection with H.pylori. In contrast, contaminated food and poor sanitary conditions may increase the risk of infection. Thus, individuals with H.pylori infection must practice good personal hygiene and consume food that is prepared in a clean and hygienic environment. Home-cooked food is the ideal choice for them to prevent the infection.

Yes, refrigeration creates an ambient condition of low temperature and humidity which is critical for the survival of the living friendly bacteria (probiotics).

Lactobacillus acidophillus or Bifidobacterium lactis are both classified to the species level, not as strains. Clinically proven strains are those such as below with its strain-specific indication:
(i) Lactobacillus plantarum 299v (BiO-LiFE Probi 299v) for improving all Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms
