Lactobacillus improves bloating symptoms
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
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.

4-L SF-PEG reduces bloating effectively
We aimed to understand how different bowel cleansing solutions impact bloating during colonoscopy preparation. In this study, 206 participants were randomly assigned to receive either a 4-liter sulfa-free polyethylene glycol (SF-PEG) solution or a 2-liter solution with ascorbic acid.
Our findings indicated that the 4-L SF-PEG not only provided better bowel cleansing but also resulted in significantly less bloating compared to the 2-L solution. While both groups reported similar satisfaction levels with the preparation, only 11.5% of those on SF-PEG experienced bloating, compared to 23.1% from the other group.

We examined how simethicone, used during bowel preparation for colonoscopy, influences bloating and other factors. Our analysis of 16 studies involving over 5,600 patients revealed that simethicone helped reduce abdominal bloating significantly compared to standard preparation alone. However, while it showed improvements in bowel cleanliness, it did not notably affect nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Therefore, simethicone may serve as an effective adjunct for patients facing discomfort during bowel prep, especially those not suited for split-dose polyethylene glycol.

Neostigmine improves bowel cleansing
We examined how combining neostigmine with MoviPrep affects bowel preparation for elective colonoscopy in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). In our study with 27 SCI patients, we found that adding neostigmine significantly improved bowel cleansing effectiveness.
While MoviPrep alone yielded only 50% acceptable results, the combination led to an impressive 85% success rate. The treatment caused minimal bloating and distention, proving to be safe and well-tolerated overall, despite some mild side effects.

We examined the effectiveness of a new colon preparation involving Gatorade and polyethylene glycol (PEG), with or without the addition of bisacodyl. Through a randomized, controlled trial, 600 patients underwent colonoscopy preparations and reported their experiences.
The findings revealed that while G/PEG effectively cleansed the colon, adding bisacodyl resulted in more bloating and cramps without improving colon cleanliness. Overall, participants found G/PEG more tolerable than NuLYTELY, experiencing significantly less abdominal discomfort.

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.

Light and comfortable
This product is fantastic; I feel light after taking it twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening following meals. I often feel bloated, which is quite uncomfortable, but since using this miracle product, I feel much lighter and experience lots of flatulence. I truly appreciate this product and will be reordering it, as well as recommending it to my family and friends.

Less bloating observed
I’m unsure if the formula has changed. It doesn’t seem as effective as it did before. Although I'm still less bloated than when I started, I'm not achieving the remarkable results I anticipated, even after taking three pills twice a day. Nonetheless, iHerb provided exemplary service with competitive pricing.

Effective for weight management
3 people found this helpful
These capsules are dairy-free, which is great, as I'd be ill otherwise. They prevent constipation and assist with weight management. When I run out, I tend to gain 6-7lbs quite rapidly, but resuming them stops the weight gain immediately. I also don't experience bloating when taking these. It's advisable to take a couple daily for best results.

We evaluated a multicenter, randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of simethicone combined with polyethylene glycol (PEG) on adenoma detection during colonoscopy.
The findings showed that patients prepared with PEG and simethicone experienced fewer abdominal bloating episodes (7.8%) compared to those using PEG alone (19.7%).
This suggests that simethicone may not only enhance bowel preparation efficiency but also reduce discomfort from bloating, making the colonoscopy experience more pleasant.

We examined the impact of simethicone (SIM) on bowel preparation for colonoscopy and its ability to reduce bloating. After reviewing 18 randomized controlled trials involving over 7,000 patients, we found that the combination of polyethylene glycol and SIM significantly improved colon cleanliness and the detection of polyps.
While SIM effectively reduced abdominal bloating compared to PEG alone, it did not influence other symptoms like vomiting or abdominal pain. Ultimately, SIM shows promise in enhancing bowel preparation quality, potentially making the process more comfortable for patients.

We explored the effectiveness of various probiotic strains and combinations in treating bloating related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This comprehensive analysis included data from 9,253 participants across 81 studies.
While some probiotics showed promise in alleviating abdominal bloating, the results indicated that only specific strains were effective. Among them, noteworthy probiotics included MTCC 5856 and CNCM I-3856.
Overall, the findings highlight that while probiotics can help some IBS symptoms, not all are effective for bloating, calling for more research to better understand these treatments.
