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.

Probiotic supplement alleviates GERD symptoms
We investigated the impact of a dietary supplement containing lactobacillus acidophilus, bioactive peptides, and vitamins on individuals with mild-to-moderate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we followed fifty-six adults over 28 days.

Participants reported a significant reduction in heartburn frequency and severity with the active supplement compared to the placebo. They also noted a decreased reliance on over-the-counter medications and improved quality of life. Overall, this supplement appears to bring meaningful relief to those struggling with GERD symptoms.

Bifidobacterium lactis aids reflux recovery
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.

Amazing stuff! After suffering from constant diarrhea for nearly a decade and being diagnosed with IBS, I started taking this probiotic based on a friend's recommendation. It worked wonders! I no longer have acid reflux, have regained normal bowel movements, and feel energetic now.

Probiotic mixture eases constipation, reflux
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.
