Probiotic improves IBS-C symptoms
Effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 on irritable bowel syndrome with constipation: a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial.
High relevance for constipation treatment
We examined the effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 on patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). In a robust study involving 30 participants, we used a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design.

After eight weeks of treatment, the probiotic group reported significant improvements in bowel activities and discomfort linked to constipation. Notably, symptoms like abdominal bloating also improved.

Our findings suggest that this probiotic might help enhance gut health by promoting beneficial microbes and their metabolites.

BLa80 shows promise for constipation
subsp. BLa80 alleviates constipation in mice through modulating the stem cell factor (SCF)/c-Kit pathway and the gut microbiota.
Relevance score indicates high potential
We explored the impact of Bifidobacterium lactis BLa80 on constipation using mice that were induced with functional constipation through loperamide treatment. In our study, we compared BLa80 to a blank group and a positive control.

The results indicated that BLa80 improved intestinal movement, increased fecal moisture, and balanced gut bacteria. It also helped regulate important gut hormones. Overall, BLa80 shows promise as a potential new option for relieving constipation in functional foods.

Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates constipation
subsp. TG11 ameliorates loperamide-induced constipation in mice by modulating gut microbiota.
Relevant animal model study
We investigated the effects of Bifidobacterium lactis subsp. TG11 on loperamide-induced constipation in mice. The mice were grouped into control and treatment categories, receiving different doses of the probiotic.

After treatment, those receiving TG11 showed improved intestinal motility and maintained better fecal water content. Notably, the probiotic also positively affected gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria and promoting short-chain fatty acid production.

Overall, Bifidobacterium lactis TG11 appears effective in alleviating constipation, potentially by enhancing gut health.

Restores regularity
Easy for children to take. My daughter faced issues with constipation, particularly when on antibiotics. I give her one probiotic every other day, and she is now regular with her bowel movements. It's easy to chew, and she enjoys the flavour, making it a suitable choice. We've been using this for over a year.

Miracle product found
The only thing that has resolved my daughter's constipation. My nearly 4-year-old struggled with constipation for over a year and was taking Miralax twice daily. After getting sick, we stopped Miralax and switched to these probiotics. She has been regular for almost two weeks now without it!

Effective for ASD
Works wonders, especially for gastrointestinal issues linked with ASD. I typically purchase the strawberry banana flavour for my son, but this cheaper variety was initially unappealing to him. After a couple of tries, he liked it. This brand is the only one that has alleviated stomach pains, gas, and constipation for him.

Lactobacillus improves IBS-C symptoms
Clinical assessment and cytokines level in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome participants treated with Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink.
Consistent findings support treatment benefit
We investigated how a cultured milk drink containing Lactobacillus acidophilus affects symptoms of constipation in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Over 30 days, participants consumed the drink daily.

At the end of the study, an impressive 97.4% of IBS-C participants reported improvement in their constipation-related symptoms. We also noticed reductions in intestinal transit time and pro-inflammatory cytokines linked to IBS. Overall, this suggests that including this cultured milk drink may be a beneficial addition to IBS-C treatment plans.

Probiotics improve constipation symptoms
Impact of a probiotic chewable tablet on stool habits and microbial profile in children with functional constipation: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
High relevance to childhood constipation.
We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 92 children aged 4 to 12 with functional constipation. Over four weeks, we provided one group with a probiotic chewable tablet containing specific strains and compared their experiences to a placebo group.

The findings were promising; the probiotic group reported a significant improvement in stool frequency and a decrease in hard defecation. Specifically, hard stools decreased from 43% to 14%, while normal defecation increased from 56% to 80%. This study highlights the potential of probiotics as a valuable option for managing constipation in children.

Probiotics improve constipation symptoms
Effects of Fermented Milk with Mixed Strains as a Probiotic on the Inhibition of Loperamide-Induced Constipation.
Relevant for constipation treatment
We evaluated how lactobacillus acidophilus, both alone and in a mix with other bacteria, might relieve constipation caused by loperamide in rats. Over 14 days, we noticed that the groups receiving probiotics had significantly heavier and wetter stools compared to control animals.

Notably, the CKDBP group, a blend of multiple bacteria, showed the greatest improvement in intestinal transit. Measures like mucosal length and mucus secretion were also significantly enhanced in all probiotic-treated groups, highlighting their potential to alleviate constipation symptoms effectively.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus reduces constipation
LRJ-1 alleviates constipation through promoting gut -derived γ-aminobutyric acid production.
Study highlights gut therapy relevance.
We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LRJ-1) on constipation in mice. The study revealed that oral treatment with LRJ-1 led to significant improvements in constipation by increasing levels of a gut compound called γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

We also found that the beneficial impact of LRJ-1 was linked to the growth of specific intestinal bacteria and the activation of certain nerve pathways in the gut. While these findings are promising, they confirm the potential of LRJ-1 in addressing constipation through its influence on gut health.

Eliminates constipation
Works brilliantly! I give this to my children, aged 7 and 5. My younger child adores this probiotic, while my older, pickier child takes it begrudgingly. Both enjoy the watermelon flavour! We've seen a significant improvement— no more constipation, gassiness, or bloating. However, after a month without it, my 7-year-old experienced constipation and bloating again.

Solved stomach issues
I'm so grateful we tried these! My 7-year-old daughter dealt with stomach issues for over a year. We eliminated certain foods to check for allergies, but nothing worked. The doctor suspected constipation, and after a month on these probiotics, she hasn't complained about any stomach issues, no matter what she eats.
