Although roll of probiotics is to suppost healthy gut, different probiotics migh serve other purposes as well.

Lactobacillus (L.) gasseri SBT 2055 (LG2055) significantly reduced the abdominal adiposity, body weight and other measures suggesting its beneficial influence on metabolic disorders

L. rhamnosus PL60 reduced body weight without reducing energy intake and caused a significant, specific reduction of white adipose tissue.

The increase in number of Bifidobacterium spp. was significantly and positively correlated with improved glucose-tolerance, glucose-induced insulin-secretion, and normalized low-grade inflammation.

Normal microflora ‘symbiota’ with it’s genes (genome) interact with our genes (host genome) and creates a healthier, stronger body (hologenome). That helps to decrease the gut infections and disorders along with strengthening the mucosal immunity. Probiotics as normal microflora help in synthesis of vitamins e.g. vitamin K, metabolism of lactose and lowers the level of cholesterol. Probiotics enhance the systemic immunity which further reduces the chances of allergy and inflammation by immunomodulation.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
Dr. Treskova took her time getting to know our son's GI situation. She gave practical home remedies along with sound nutritional advise. It took a few months of dedicated work on our end plus continued follow up with the doctor for him to ultimately improve. Thank you Dr. Treskova for hanging in there with us!

Dr Treskova is incredibly thorough, competent, and kind. She leaves no stone unturned when trying to figure out what is causing your child's GI issues. We really enjoy our visits with her and know my daughters are getting the best care possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pediatric gastroenterologist/hepatologist.

Our first visit was very reassuring. It worked out that the initial was a virtual for our situation. Dr. Treskova was that perfect mix of compassionate, factual, and reassuring. She listened and gave helpful feedback. When the appointment ended I felt like we might finally be on the path to get answers for my little one. He is a 6 year old boy on the spectrum with no verbal communication. It can be very difficult to find doctors that understand the level of patience that is needed. I wish I could find this in every specialty.

First appoitment was today with my 7 month old and Dr Treskova is amazing . My son has a very complex health and most importantly a good gastro is very well needed when it comes to the health of the stomach I am truly glad she took my son on due to many complcations he has. Highly recommend.

Dr. Treskova comes highly recommended at this time. My son has been struggling with learning challenges for quite some time. Through her dedication and diagnostic testing, we were able to get to the root cause of his gastrointestinal issue. She recommends food based and supplements (holistic approach), in conjunction with medicine, to achieve the highest and safest outcomes. This is so important as a parent of a young one, to be able to treat them safely. Because of Dr. Treskova, for the first time, we feel optimistic our son is on his way to recovery. She also is very patient and takes the time to view and discuss the patient as a whole. Her guidance, knowledge, and commitment are truly amazing. I’m so grateful to be working with her.

My daughter loves Dr Treskova and how she has clearly listened to her, understands her complaints and has given her so many natural ways of handling her Gastro issues. Dr. Treskova communicates one on one with my daughter on a level that my daughter understands. Dr. keeps her explanations simple for her to understand her digestive system health and how the brain , gut and bowels are all interconnected with each other She has been through with asking questions wanting feedback has to what is or has not been working for my daughter. Dr Treskova is professional but most importantly sincerely cares about her young patients. As a parent that is so important and so reassuring that my child is being well taken care of.

Dr Treskova is a very knowledgeable gastroenterologist, who keeps up with the newest treatments protocols and medical updates. Despite the pandemic and being limited to providing virtual exams, she was very thorough in obtaining a medical history (one of the most important part of making the diagnosis) and doing her best to perform the exam. She understands the challenges of being a mother and is very realistic with the goals she sets for children. I truly appreciated the tips that she provided me with to help my kids feel better.
