Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates bloating
Clinical trial: the effects of a fermented milk product containing Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 on abdominal distension and gastrointestinal transit in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.
Medium relevance for IBS treatment
We conducted a study to see if a fermented dairy product with Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 could help reduce bloating in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation. In a controlled trial with 34 participants over four weeks, we found that this probiotic significantly decreased abdominal girth and improved gastrointestinal transit times.

Patients reported feeling less bloated, and symptom severity also decreased. These findings suggest that fostering faster transit times may be an effective method to combat abdominal distension.

Lactobacillus improves bloating symptoms
Probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 versus placebo for the symptoms of bloating in patients with functional bowel disorders: a double-blind study.
Relevance score indicates significant findings
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess how Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 affect bloating in patients with functional bowel disorders.

Over eight weeks, patients reported a noticeable improvement in abdominal bloating when taking probiotics compared to those on a placebo.

Notably, results showed significant relief at four weeks and continued improvement by eight weeks, especially among those with irritable bowel syndrome. This suggests probiotics could be beneficial in managing bloating symptoms.

Lactobacillus acidophilus reduces bloating
[Lactobacilli in the treatment of dyspepsia due to dysmicrobia of various causes].
Effective probiotic for dyspepsia
We examined how Lactobacillus acidophilus can help treat bloating in patients with dyspepsia due to imbalances in gut bacteria. In a study involving 30 participants, symptoms such as pain, pressure, and bloating were self-reported while objective measures like bowel movements and weight changes were also tracked.

Those affected by antibiotic-induced dysbiosis experienced rapid relief within days. Improvements were noted in symptoms of maldigestion over a week, and remarkable results were observed in patients with radiation enterocolitis. Overall, this probiotic showed promise for alleviating digestive discomfort without notable side effects.

Immediate digestion boost
I give Garden of Life - Primal Defense Ultra five stars due to immediate improvements in my digestion. My bowel movements became regular, bloating disappeared, and I could even enjoy cheese without suffering from constipation. Previously, my overindulgence in cheese and fatty foods affected my digestion negatively. After starting this probiotic, I experienced about four days of purging, then my digestive system became consistently regular. It’s produced the best results of all the probiotics I've tried.

SCM-III improves IBS symptoms
Single-blind follow-up study on the effectiveness of a symbiotic preparation in irritable bowel syndrome.
49% relevance, clinically significant
We conducted a study examining the effects of a novel symbiotic treatment, SCM-III, on patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Sixty-eight adults were divided into two groups—one received SCM-III and the other a heat-inactivated version, both for 12 weeks.

Our findings showed that most patients reported significant improvements in bloating and abdominal pain compared to a control group. Over 80% felt the treatment was effective, while less than 5% labelled it ineffective.

Overall, this suggests that certain IBS patients could greatly benefit from symbiotic treatments like SCM-III, though it may require a cyclic use for best results.

The children on probiotics experienced significant improvements in skin and gastrointestinal symptoms, including a decrease in bloating. Their IgE levels also dropped notably, suggesting an overall healthier immune response. The control group showed no significant changes.

Overall, lactobacillus rhamnosus proved beneficial for reducing allergy symptoms and improving gut health.
