LJ88 improves heartburn symptoms
We investigated the impact of a heat-killed lactic acid bacterium, known as No. 1088 (LJ88), on heartburn symptoms in healthy individuals. In a randomized, placebo-controlled study with 120 participants, the LJ88 group noticed significant improvement in heartburn symptoms after six weeks compared to those taking a placebo.

Remarkably, no serious side effects were reported. This suggests that daily consumption of LJ88 can potentially alleviate heartburn issues in otherwise healthy people.

Lactobacillus offers some quality of life improvement
Our randomized, double-blind study explored the effects of fermented soy containing Lactobacillus delbrueckii on heartburn in adults. Participants consumed it over three weeks, but we found no significant differences in heartburn severity or frequency between the fermented soy and placebo groups.

However, some quality of life aspects, like medication inconvenience and ability to concentrate, showed marked improvement with fermented soy. Moreover, certain digestive issues improved during a washout period for the fermented soy group. While lactobacillus may help improve some quality of life factors, further research is needed to confirm its long-term benefits for heartburn relief.

Supplement reduces heartburn symptoms
In this well-structured study, we examined how a food supplement with probiotics, peptides, and vitamins might help those suffering from mild-to-moderate heartburn. Over 28 days, 56 participants received either the supplement or a placebo.

Remarkably, those taking the active supplement experienced noticeably fewer and less intense heartburn episodes compared to the placebo group. Additionally, they reduced their reliance on over-the-counter medications.

Improvements in quality of life scores were also significant in the group taking the supplement, indicating its potential effectiveness for managing GERD symptoms.

Jarrow Probiotics are wonderful. If you struggle with acid reflux or heartburn, this is the product for you. I used to suffer from both and went through numerous medications that worsened my condition. After being advised by someone at a whole foods store, I began using Jarrow probiotics, and thankfully, I no longer have any heartburn or acid reflux issues. It requires some time to experience the difference, and you need to take it regularly, but the results are worth it.

These probiotics work wonderfully! My husband, who often experienced discomfort, bloating, and heartburn, has seen a significant reduction in these issues since taking them. I’ve taken them too and found relief from stomach discomfort quickly. I will definitely continue using them for their efficacy.

Saved my gut (along with kefir). After multiple rounds of antibiotics, my gut had suffered greatly. This probiotic, in combination with daily kefir, significantly improved my gut biome, and my heartburn and physical anxiety symptoms vanquished within a week. That week was filled with intolerable gas, as my gut was not happy about this overhaul.

Herbal formula improves digestive symptoms
We explored the effects of the NC Gut Relief Formula, a blend of herbs and nutrients, over 16 weeks in adults with digestive disorders.

After taking the formula, participants reported a significant 60%-80% improvement in upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn. Remarkably, many were able to stop using proton pump inhibitors by the study's end.

Additionally, the formula improved overall quality of life, energy levels, and enabled individuals to reintroduce previously troublesome foods without increased symptoms.

We explored how taking probiotics alongside proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) impacted children with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In a study with 128 GERD kids, half received PPIs and a placebo, while the other half got PPIs and probiotics for 12 weeks.

After treatment, 56.2% in the placebo group had dysbiosis, but just 6.2% in the probiotics group did. This shows that adding probiotics significantly reduced dysbiosis rates, bringing them close to those of healthy children.

The findings suggest that probiotics can be beneficial for children using PPIs to manage GERD.

Lactobacillus strain shows promise
We investigated the potential of a unique strain of Lactobacillus johnsonii No. 1088, renowned for its impressive ability to survive in acidic environments and its antibacterial properties.

This strain not only inhibited the growth of harmful bacteria like Helicobacter pylori but also reduced gastric acid secretion in mice. While these findings suggest it could aid in treating conditions like heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease, the direct effectiveness of Lactobacillus johnsonii No. 1088 for heartburn relief in humans remains to be established.

Therefore, while promising, more research is needed to confirm its benefits for heartburn sufferers.

Great heartburn relief
2 people found this helpful
All my stomach problems seem to be 100% better. I have GERD, have undergone surgery, and have taken prilosec for years. Reaching a point of no relief led me to search for answers online, where probiotics frequently came up, so I gave them a go. After just one week, I noticed no gas, no stomach aches, and no heartburn. If this keeps up, I might stop taking my years-long medication. I certainly recommend this brand.

Herbal formula improves digestive symptoms
We explored the effects of the NC Gut Relief Formula, a blend of herbs and nutrients, over 16 weeks in adults with digestive disorders.

After taking the formula, participants reported a significant 60%-80% improvement in upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn. Remarkably, many were able to stop using proton pump inhibitors by the study's end.

Additionally, the formula improved overall quality of life, energy levels, and enabled individuals to reintroduce previously troublesome foods without increased symptoms.
We explored the effects of a symbiotic gel, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis, on gastrointestinal symptoms in hemodialysis patients. In a robust double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 42 participants, those receiving the symbiotic gel showed a notable reduction in episodes of heartburn, vomiting, and stomachaches over two months.

Additionally, the severity of symptoms decreased significantly compared to the control group. While some improvements in nutritional status were observed, they weren’t statistically significant. Overall, the findings suggest that this gel is a safe and effective option for enhancing digestive health in this patient group.
