Lactobacillus is often found in yogurt, cheese, wine, chocolate, and other fermented foods. Lactobacillus also lives in human digestive, urinary, and genital systems without causing disease. It's also known for absorbing nutrients, breaking down food, and fighting off bacteria that can cause diarrhea. Lactobacillus is helpful in many ways; on the contrary, there are some side effects.
Lactobacillus can cause harm to individuals with weakened immune systems. Thus, people that suffer with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or organ transplant recipients my cause harm to them self. The live bacteria in Lactose's could also assist with the weakening of the immune system. Moreover, Human Immunodeficiency Virus hurts the immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. HIV kills these cells and the immune system can no longer defend itself.
HIV is like many other viruses, colds, or flu. The immune system is attacked by the virus or bacteria and is able to recover over time, subsequently, with HIV the body is not able to recover. Unlike Lactobacillus HIV lives in blood and other body fluids that contain blood or white blood cells. Likewise, HIV can only be
