Natalie,
This is not really an answer to your questions but I was intrigued by your
post and decided to do a web search on dysbacteriosis.

from http://www.russianadoption.org/translation.htm
"Thus dysbacteriosis, for example, may be translated dysbacterios or
dysbacterioz. With regard to this particular diagnosis there is no western
equivalent. It is best researched through <A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi">medline</A> using the search term
dysbacteriosis."

I did a medline search and they have some 15 pages of studies on this
problem.  But what intrigued me the most was that some of the researchers are
suggesting the use of bifidobacterium or probiotics to treat dysbacteriosis.
I was faintly amused--obviously Nestle is at work in Russia.  Nestle (I am
sure other drug and formula companies have it, too) has one of the patents I
have mentioned to this list before on bifidobacterium.  This bacteria is only
found in the intestines of humans--particularly breastfed infants.  This
bacteria was collected from the feces of a breastfed infant and stored at the
American Culture Collection.  The bacteria is now genetically engineered.  So
the basis of this treatment is to use the bacteria produced by a breastfed
infant to treat various diseases in the gut.  So it is the height of irony if
treatment protocol is to to have a woman stop breastfeeding the infant and
give it a product that was original made from breastmilk.  But heck, all is
fair in love and war.  Nestle wins again...Valerie

PS:  It certainly helps to have someone like researcher Dr. Jose Saavedra of
John Hopkins promoting probiotics in medical journals.  Of course most people
don't know  that he is also the medical and scientific director of Nestle USA.
