Positive effects on gastrointestinal symptoms
Our research aimed to understand how a specific symbiotic gel, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, affects gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn, in hemodialysis patients.
We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 42 participants over two months. The group receiving the symbiotic gel reported significant improvements in the frequency and severity of symptoms like heartburn and stomachache compared to the control group.
Overall, the gel appeared safe with no adverse effects noted. More extensive studies are needed, but these findings suggest promising benefits for managing heartburn in dialysis patients.

We explored the effects of Lactobacillus species on bile-induced DNA damage in esophageal cells, which occurs during gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By exposing these bacteria to a bile-rich environment, we found they could survive and interact beneficially with injured cells.
Notably, adding Lactobacillus after bile injury boosted the repair of DNA damage and lessened inflammation. This suggests that these probiotics could play a role in protecting against long-term complications of GERD, like Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.

Fixed my acid reflux. After a couple of years on doctor-prescribed medication with no effect, I decided to try something new and found that NOW acidophilus eliminated what I suspected was an intestinal candida yeast problem responsible for my distressing acid reflux. Within two days of starting the treatment, my reflux disappeared, and I felt better than ever! That was about a year ago.

This study looked into how a specific synbiotic product, which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus along with other probiotics and fructooligosaccharides, affects digestive health among healthy adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we monitored 36 participants—20 women and 16 men aged between 25 and 45 years—over six weeks.
Participants received either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, taking three tablets daily. We gathered information on gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habits through a self-administered questionnaire, focusing especially on those who experienced digestive disturbances like mild dyspepsia or bloating.
The results were promising; those who took the synbiotic product reported significant improvements in their overall gastrointestinal well-being and bowel movements. Interestingly, we also noted a reduction in a specific immune marker, L-selectin, in the synbiotic group, which could indicate a favorable shift in their immune profile. However, while the improvements in gut health were noteworthy, none of the other immunological parameters were significantly altered.
In summary, this study suggests that including Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a synbiotic supplement can lead to better digestive comfort and may influence immune-related markers positively. However, pinpointing the exact effect of this specific strain on indigestion alone is challenging, given the multi-strain nature of the synbiotic treatment.

We explored the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 in addressing atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema. By using a mouse model induced by house dust mites, we found that administering this probiotic led to significantly lower dermatitis scores and less immune cell infiltration in the skin.
Additionally, L. acidophilus KBL409 reduced serum immunoglobulin E and influenced various cytokines linked to inflammation. It also positively affected gut microbiota and concentrations of beneficial compounds, hinting at a broader impact on our immune responses. Overall, our findings suggest that L. acidophilus KBL409 may be a promising probiotic for eczema management.

We examined the urinary microbiome of women with interstitial cystitis and found it less diverse and containing fewer Lactobacillus acidophilus compared to a control group.
This lack of Lactobacillus was linked to more severe symptoms and poor quality of life. While we noted some associations between higher inflammatory markers and the severity of symptoms, we didn’t see a clear causal relationship.
Essentially, we’re still unsure if the presence of Lactobacillus can effectively reduce pelvic pain in this context.

Bifidobacterium longum protects against pneumonia
We explored how the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 5(1A) can affect pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in mice. Our study showed that this treatment led to a quicker resolution of lung inflammation and significantly reduced the bacterial load, ultimately saving 100% of the mice from death.
This protective effect was linked to the activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. In particular, B. longum 5(1A) helped balance the body's inflammatory response, promoting a faster recovery in the lungs. Overall, our findings suggest that this probiotic could play a beneficial role in enhancing lung health during infections.

Lactobacillus aids pigs' health
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation products on weanling pigs that were challenged with a harmful strain of bacteria known as enterotoxigenic F4 Escherichia coli (F4-ETEC). To better understand this, we conducted a detailed study involving eighty pigs, which were divided into five groups based on different diets. This included a control diet, as well as diets supplemented with various fermentation products and zinc oxide.
After inoculating the pigs with F4-ETEC to simulate infection, we observed significant changes in the pigs’ fecal microbiome when they were given a combination of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces products. These changes in the microbiome were previously linked to better growth performance and overall health in young pigs.
Interestingly, the pigs receiving both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae products showed an increase in final live weight. This suggests that using these postbiotics could help manage performance issues associated with ETEC without needing to eliminate the bacteria entirely from the pigs' environment. Therefore, while Lactobacillus acidophilus was not the sole hero in this study, its combined use proved beneficial in combatting the negative effects of this bacterial challenge.

We set out to explore how lactobacillus acidophilus, specifically strain B-2178, impacts vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in female rats. By dividing our study subjects into five groups, we included controls and examined the effects of different treatments.
In particular, we analyzed the immune response of the vaginal tissue after intravaginal inoculation to establish VVC. The rats treated with strain B-2178 showed a promising ability to maintain an immune-tolerant state in the vaginal epithelium. Through this action, it seemed capable of reducing uncontrolled inflammation, which is often a challenge during candidiasis.
Although our findings suggest that B-2178 may be beneficial in treating VVC, it's important to note that the overall focus was broader and did not isolate lactobacillus acidophilus alone. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the specific advantages of this particular strain compared to others.
Ultimately, it appears that while B-2178 exhibits potential, more targeted research is required to evaluate its effectiveness in isolating and addressing candidiasis comprehensively.

We examined a promising new probiotic preparation designed to break down gluten and assist people with celiac disease. Our study included a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial with 70 volunteers over a 42-day period, where participants consumed increasing amounts of gluten following a gluten-free diet.
Those who took the probiotics showed significantly lower levels of residual gluten in their feces compared to the placebo group. Additionally, the probiotics appeared to enhance gut microbiota health, promoting beneficial microbial communities. However, despite these findings, we must proceed cautiously, as the overall impact on celiac disease management remains to be fully determined.

We aimed to find out if probiotic supplements like lactobacillus acidophilus could help counteract the negative effects of iron fortification, which has been linked to increased diarrhea and food poisoning among children.
In our study with weaning mice, we discovered that high iron diets led to more severe symptoms when infected with Salmonella.
However, when we added lactobacillus acidophilus beforehand, the mice showed less severe symptoms and better intestinal health.
This suggests that probiotics can really help protect gut health against the adverse effects of iron supplements during foodborne infections.
