Probiotic supplement reduces GERD symptoms
We aimed to find out how a food supplement containing probiotics, peptides, and vitamins impacts individuals with mild-to-moderate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In a thorough study, 56 participants were divided into two groups; one received the active supplement while the other got a placebo for 28 days.
The results were promising, showing a notable decrease in heartburn frequency and severity for those on the supplement. Additionally, they reported taking fewer over-the-counter medications, and their quality of life improved compared to the placebo group. This suggests that dietary supplements might offer a beneficial alternative for managing GERD symptoms.

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.

We examined the effects of Bifidobacterium lactis as a complementary treatment for reflux esophagitis (RE) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 110 RE patients received rabeprazole while being supplemented with either Bifidobacterium or a placebo over 8 weeks.
Our findings showed that the probiotic group experienced quicker symptom relief and a longer time before symptoms returned, compared to the placebo. We also noted improvements in gut microbiota diversity following the treatment. Thus, Bifidobacterium lactis appears to provide significant benefits as an adjunct therapy for managing reflux symptoms.

Fast acting relief

Fast-acting! This probiotic is incredibly helpful for my indigestion, especially at bedtime. Taking any pill usually worsens my reflux, but these work quickly. Within 15 minutes, I can often lie down without discomfort. They also taste great.

I swear by this. Since I began taking it in 1996, I can now enjoy foods like pizza, tomato sauce, and OJ, which caused massive reflux before. Partnering it with fibre pills and colon health supplements has led to a more normal stomach and stool.

We aimed to explore the effectiveness of a specific probiotic mixture called Ecologic®Relief in treating constipation among pregnant women. Over four weeks, participants reported significant improvements in their bowel habits, including increased defecation frequency and reduced sensations of obstruction and incomplete evacuation.
Importantly, we noted that the probiotic mixture also seemed to decrease reflux episodes from 60% to 20%. This suggests that not only does Ecologic®Relief help with constipation, but it may also provide relief from reflux symptoms during pregnancy. We believe more extensive studies will be beneficial to confirm these findings.

In our exploration, we examined how Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 could influence gut transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms. We enrolled 100 adults with functional GI issues, splitting them into groups to receive either high-dose, low-dose, or placebo for two weeks.
We found that both treatment groups experienced significant reductions in gut transit times and a decrease in various GI symptoms. The placebo group did not show any notable improvements.
Overall, B. lactis HN019 seems effective in easing reflux-related symptoms and improving gut health.
