CECT 7347 reduces IBS-D symptoms
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial exploring CECT 7347 (ES1) and heat-treated CECT 7347 (HT-ES1) revealed promising results for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

We found that after 12 weeks, both ES1 and HT-ES1 significantly reduced symptom severity compared to a placebo, as shown by lower IBS-Symptom Severity Scale scores.

Other improvements included better stool consistency and quality of life. This study marks a breakthrough with the first positive findings for a probiotic or postbiotic from this strain specifically for IBS-D patients.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae improves IBS symptoms
We explored how Saccharomyces cerevisiae affects patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a study involving thirty participants, we administered 500 mg capsules of this yeast twice daily for four weeks. Weekly evaluations showed significant improvements in abdominal pain and general quality of life, with notable reductions in pain scores and enhancements in various aspects of daily living. This suggests Saccharomyces cerevisiae could be a valuable treatment option for alleviating IBS symptoms.

Effective treatment for IBS-C
We aimed to understand how Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 (RH 3201) affects irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) through a thorough study. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 30 participants took either RH 3201 or a placebo for 8 weeks.

Those taking RH 3201 experienced significant improvements, including fewer bowel discomforts and reduced bloating issues. We also observed an increase in certain beneficial gut bacteria and a link between specific metabolites and symptom relief. Overall, RH 3201 shows promise as an effective treatment for IBS-C.

For three years, I frequently dealt with digestive issues, including irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. Following a week in the hospital, my doctor recommended probiotics, leading me to this brand. I've tried other products from them before and found them to be excellent quality. I’m now on my fifth bottle, and my stomach feels great. I wholeheartedly recommend you try them—you won’t regret it!

The quality of ingredients in this product is excellent, and the capsule size suits us well, as we regularly take supplements at home. We’ve all benefitted from these probiotics, with my daughter resolving her irritable bowel issue, and my digestive problems improving significantly. We’ve decided to take it annually to maintain gut health, as the benefits are substantial. We received the package quickly, exceeding our expectations. Thank you, iHerb!

Frequent bowel movements
I'm truly hooked on this probiotic! I’ve been taking it for around six months and even introduced it to my mother. I used to suffer from severe constipation and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Within a month, my bowel movements became more frequent and the symptoms of IBS lessened. I've purchased it multiple times, as it's an effective probiotic that genuinely works.

Effective probiotic IBS treatment
This randomized, single-blinded trial evaluated the impact of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus and plantarum, on patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

We found that when added to standard IBS treatment, these probiotics significantly improved symptoms over a 12-week period.

Group B, the probiotic group, experienced better results, including fewer days with pain and greater satisfaction with bowel habits. While both groups saw reductions in IBS severity, the probiotics led to complete remission in many patients, which is promising for future treatment guidelines.

Lactobacillus drink benefits IBS-C
We explored the impact of a Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink on individuals with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Over 30 days, participants consumed this drink daily while we assessed their clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers.

Impressively, 97.4% reported improvement in symptoms, along with noticeable reductions in intestinal transit time and fecal pH. Evidence also showed lowered levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in IBS-C participants, supporting potential adjunctive benefits of this treatment for IBS-C patients.

I purchased this for my child to aid in detoxification. The more CFUs and strains, the better. After completing the detox program, he experienced better bowel movements, and he seems happier overall. Happy guts lead to a happy brain. Although it is somewhat costly, the quality is excellent, and I plan to repurchase when it's on discount. He is currently taking 30 billion CFUs.

Lactobacillus acidophilus improves IBS
We aimed to investigate how well the probiotic Neobiotic Lactobalance®, which contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, can relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Over 21 days, 54 participants took one capsule daily. With clear signs of symptom relief, patients reported significant improvements in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dyspeptic symptoms. Our findings showed a normalization of the intestinal microbiota, indicating that Lactobacillus acidophilus and other included probiotics may effectively support digestive health for those struggling with these conditions.
8
Probiotics help relieve IBS symptoms
We investigated the impact of multispecies probiotics, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a randomized, double-blind study with 49 participants, those taking probiotics experienced significantly more symptom relief than those on a placebo after four weeks.

The probiotics not only eased abdominal discomfort and bloating but also positively altered gut bacteria. Our findings suggest that multispecies probiotics could be a valuable option for managing IBS symptoms.
8
Synbiotics improve IBS-D symptoms
This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial investigated how a synbiotic preparation affects adults with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

Over eight weeks, we found that the synbiotics significantly improved overall IBS symptoms and specific issues like flatulence and bowel habits compared to the placebo.

Participants reported less discomfort such as incomplete bowel movements and fewer diarrheal episodes.

Importantly, the synbiotics were well tolerated, with no significant differences in adverse events between the groups.
