To understand how taking probiotics helps you ward off food poisoning, you have to first understand what causes food poisoning. It's really quite simple. Food poisoning is the result of unfriendly bacteria taking up residence in your gut. You've probably heard of some of these unfriendly guys: salmonella, e.coli, or botulism. Some of the ones that you might not have heard of include Campylobacter and Shigella. It's one thing to avoid eating undercooked meats so as not to invite guests like salmonella into your gut, but sometimes you can't help it, especially if you aren't the one doing the cooking. The good news is that if you have "friendly bacteria" already living in your gut (which is natural), then the unfriendly bacteria like salmonella can't take up residences.
