We investigated how a new blend of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001, along with vitamin B6, impacts bloating in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
In a study involving 25 IBS patients, we found that those receiving this treatment experienced a significant reduction in bloating, with a 36.35% improvement compared to those on placebo, who actually experienced more bloating.
Overall, this formulation not only alleviated bloating but also eased abdominal pain and improved gut health, showcasing promising results for IBS symptom management.

We explored how the probiotic ID-JPL934, which includes Lactobacillus johnsonii and Bifidobacterium lactis, can relieve lower gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly bloating.
In a study with 112 participants, we compared those taking the probiotic against a placebo group. Results showed significant improvements in abdominal pain and bloating among those using ID-JPL934.
Moreover, we noted an increase in beneficial bacteria levels after treatment, suggesting that this probiotic might significantly enhance gut health and comfort.

Probiotics reduce bloating post-surgery
We explored the impact of probiotic supplementation on gastrointestinal issues following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. In a well-structured trial, participants were divided into a group receiving Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis and another receiving a placebo.
While both groups showed similar rates of small intestine bacterial overgrowth, those taking the probiotics reported significantly less bloating. They experienced some additional gastrointestinal symptoms but overall felt better in terms of bloating.
Ultimately, the probiotics were effective for managing bloating without affecting SIBO development.

I’ve used this product several times, and it truly works, regardless of age. At 55, I’ve noticed marked improvement in my gut health—my intestines feel at ease, bloating has disappeared, and my stool has normalised. The capsules are easy to take; I have one at night. I recommend this for anyone with gastrointestinal issues or who wants to boost their immunity.

I didn’t know that specific lactic acid bacteria existed for women until I started taking this as a pre-menopausal measure. The small, easy-to-swallow capsules really work, helping to eliminate bloating. After taking one tablet daily after dinner, I noticed natural regularity and significantly reduced odour and volume, which was surprising.

These are the best women’s prebiotics! I've struggled with yeast infections, itching, and uncomfortable bloating, but after just two weeks of this supplement, I’ve had a positive response—no more itching, discharge, or yeast infections. It also alleviates bloating. It’s a bit pricey, and I need to refrigerate it, but I manage by using an ice pack during travel.

Cefixime and probiotics enhance bloating relief
We investigated how cefixime and probiotics impact bloating in patients suffering from functional abdominal bloating (FAB). In a study involving 122 diagnosed patients, we compared three treatment groups: one receiving conventional treatment, a second with cefixime, and a third with probiotics.
Those treated with probiotics and cefixime saw notable improvements in their bloating sensations and abdominal distension compared to conventional methods. Interestingly, while symptoms like abdominal pain and bowel changes improved across all groups, the addition of probiotics and cefixime showed enhanced benefits.
Overall, these findings suggest that incorporating probiotics and cefixime may offer significant support for individuals struggling with bloating.

We analyzed data from 23 studies involving nearly 4,000 children to assess how probiotics help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
The results showed that those taking probiotics had an 8% incidence of AAD, compared to 19% in the control group, indicating a significant protective effect.
None of the trials documented serious adverse events from the probiotics, but some participants reported mild side effects like gas or bloating. Overall, probiotics such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus seem helpful in reducing AAD in children after antibiotic use.

We explored the effects of multispecies probiotics, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms like bloating. In a well-structured trial with 49 participants, those taking probiotics saw a significant reduction in IBS symptoms after 4 weeks compared to those on a placebo. Notably, 68% of the probiotics group reported substantial relief, showing promising results in reducing bloating and abdominal discomfort.
These findings suggest that taking multispecies probiotics could be beneficial for those struggling with IBS-related bloating and other symptoms.

APT036 outperforms simethicone in bloating
We conducted a double-blind, randomized study to compare the effectiveness and safety of APT036, a combination treatment, and simethicone for functional bloating.
Over 20 days, participants took these treatments three times daily, with evaluations of their symptoms and abdominal girth at multiple points.
The results showed that APT036 significantly improved bloating symptoms, such as abdominal distension and flatulence, compared to simethicone, with both treatments being well tolerated and safe.

Normalised bowel function

This prebiotic is excellent! By the second week, I felt improvements by the third day. I previously faced issues with regularity but now, bowel movements occur 3-5 times a day. The burning sensation has stopped, bloating is gone, and there are no more instances of constipation, making me feel much better overall.

Reduced discomfort
1 people found this helpful
This is a good probiotic for women. I take it alongside NOW Foods Candida Support, and I have noticed a significant improvement in my gut health, with reduced bloating and discomfort. While my candida situation is better, it's not yet perfect. I believe consistent use for a couple of months will provide a clear effect.
6
No significant effect
I bought this due to severe bloating from gas. After taking it alongside peppermint oil for three to four months, I noticed some improvement. However, I won’t repurchase as adjusting my diet proved more effective, and it did not alleviate my constipation significantly.
6
Unsatisfactory results
I experienced severe bloating from gas and took this for four months. It had some effect but was not satisfactory. Adjusting my diet helped more, and it did little for constipation. Although the brand is reliable and the product is easy to consume, I recommend consistent use for better results.

Lactobacillus aids iron therapy tolerance
We examined how Lactobacillus plantarum 299v impacts patients with iron deficiency anemia who were starting oral iron replacement therapy. In our research with 295 participants, those who took the probiotic alongside their iron therapy reported significantly less bloating and other gastrointestinal issues.
This led to better treatment adherence, with fewer individuals stopping their iron therapy early. Additionally, the probiotic users showed improved iron levels and hemoglobin readings after three months. Overall, Lactobacillus proved effective in easing bloating and supporting gastrointestinal comfort during iron treatment.

We explored the effectiveness of various probiotic strains and mixtures for treating bloating in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our analysis comprised data from 81 randomized controlled trials, involving 9,253 participants.
While multiple probiotics proved beneficial for specific IBS symptoms, only three strains and two mixtures demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating abdominal bloating.
Notably, while some probiotics showed promise, results varied, indicating that not all strains are equally effective for every symptom. Further investigations are required to strengthen these findings.
