Probiotics aid IBS-D treatment outcomesTwo Lactobacilli strains as adjuvant therapy in the management of irritable bowel syndrome: a randomized control trial.
We explored the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. plantarum on patients suffering from diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). In a randomized, single-blinded clinical trial of 100 patients, some received standard IBS treatment alone while others added probiotics to their therapy.
After 12 weeks, both groups saw improvements, but those who took probiotics reported significantly better outcomes. Patients using probiotics experienced greater reductions in IBS symptoms, achieving near complete relief, while some on standard treatment still faced moderate symptoms. This suggests probiotics could enhance IBS management.

Lactobacillus shows promise for diarrhea[Clinical efficacy of a modern probiotic for the correction of intestinal microflora in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea and antibiotic-associated diarrhea].
We aimed to explore how Lactobacillus acidophilus can help relieve diarrhea symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
In a study with 54 patients, those taking the probiotic Neobiotic Lactobalance® for 21 days saw significant reductions in diarrhea severity and abdominal pain, with scores dropping impressively on the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale.
Fecal analysis indicated improved intestinal health, highlighting Lactobacillus's potential benefits for those struggling with these conditions.

Probiotics improve H. pylori treatmentsEfficacy of probiotics regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication: A systematic review, pairwise, and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
We analyzed various studies on incorporating probiotics into treatments for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Our findings revealed that adding probiotics like Bifidobacterium longum improved the eradication rate significantly.
Specifically, we noted that the probiotic group experienced fewer side effects, including diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. This suggests that probiotics could not only enhance the effectiveness of H. pylori treatment but also make it more comfortable for patients. Overall, these results support the use of probiotics in gastric therapies.

Bifidobacterium longum shows promiseA randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of live CECT 7347 (ES1) and heat-treated CECT 7347 (HT-ES1) in participants with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome.
We conducted a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 200 participants to see how well the probiotic CECT 7347 (ES1) and its heat-treated version (HT-ES1) could help those suffering from diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). After 12 weeks of treatment, both ES1 and HT-ES1 showed significant improvements in symptom severity, with marked reductions in IBS-SSS scores compared to the placebo.
Secondary benefits included better stool consistency and quality of life, making these treatments promising options for managing IBS-D symptoms. These findings reflect meaningful advancements in probiotic and postbiotic solutions.
