Probiotics may shorten diarrhea duration
Effects of probiotics in children with acute gastroenteritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on probiotics utilized in Japan.
Most Relevant Research
We looked into how effective probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus and others commonly available in Japan, are in treating diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis in children.
In our analysis of 14 studies, we found that children who took probiotics had diarrhea lasting about one day shorter and fewer were hospitalized compared to those receiving a placebo.
However, the overall evidence is considered very low, suggesting that while there might be some benefits, more research is needed.

Cured my heartburn
Most Useful Review
The acidophilus bacillus resides in the stomach and is the only helpful bacteria able to thrive in such an acidic environment. It prevents Helicobacter pylori from settling there. Thanks to acidophilus sticks, my stomach is healthy, preventing heartburn. When the stomach is very acidic, the sphincter between the stomach and the oesophagus closes tightly, keeping the stomach's contents from entering the oesophagus, thus alleviating heartburn. This is how I overcame reflux esophagitis that troubled me for years.

Probiotics repair DNA in GERD
sp. Facilitate the Repair of DNA Damage Caused by Bile-Induced Reactive Oxygen Species in Experimental Models of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Most Relevant Research
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.

Synbiotic improves digestive health
Beneficial effects of a synbiotic supplement on self-perceived gastrointestinal well-being and immunoinflammatory status of healthy adults.
Most Relevant Research
This study looked into how a specific synbiotic product, which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus along with other probiotics and fructooligosaccharides, affects digestive health among healthy adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we monitored 36 participants—20 women and 16 men aged between 25 and 45 years—over six weeks.
Participants received either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, taking three tablets daily. We gathered information on gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habits through a self-administered questionnaire, focusing especially on those who experienced digestive disturbances like mild dyspepsia or bloating.
The results were promising; those who took the synbiotic product reported significant improvements in their overall gastrointestinal well-being and bowel movements. Interestingly, we also noted a reduction in a specific immune marker, L-selectin, in the synbiotic group, which could indicate a favorable shift in their immune profile. However, while the improvements in gut health were noteworthy, none of the other immunological parameters were significantly altered.
In summary, this study suggests that including Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a synbiotic supplement can lead to better digestive comfort and may influence immune-related markers positively. However, pinpointing the exact effect of this specific strain on indigestion alone is challenging, given the multi-strain nature of the synbiotic treatment.

Lactobacillus acidophilus shows promise in autoimmune management
New Lactobacillus acidophilus isolates reduce the release of leptin by murine adipocytes leading to lower interferon-gamma production.
Most Relevant Research
We explored how specific Lactobacillus acidophilus strains can impact autoimmune disorders by reducing leptin production in mice. In our study, we compared the effects of CBA4P and other lactobacilli on adipocytes from mice sensitive to Th1 immune diseases.
Results showed that CBA4P significantly lowered leptin levels and inhibited the activation of immune lymphocytes in the SJL mouse strain. This suggests that CBA4P might help manage Th1-related inflammatory conditions, representing a potentially valuable probiotic option for autoimmune control.

Probiotics and acne connection explored
Acne vulgaris, probiotics and the gut-brain-skin axis: from anecdote to translational medicine.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the connection between probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus, and acne, delving into the gut-brain-skin axis. This long-standing theory suggests that our emotional states can impact gut health, potentially leading to acne due to inflammation and other factors.
Recent scientific studies indicate that probiotics might affect acne severity by influencing inflammation and even mood. However, while the relationship between gut health and skin clarity is intriguing, we did not find strong evidence conclusively linking Lactobacillus acidophilus treatment to significant improvements in acne.

I have felt improvement since switching to this royal jelly. Five years ago, I became ill and suspect it might be menopause. After trying various treatments without success, I found this royal jelly has helped me feel naturally sleepy at night and more energised during the day. Though I still experience hot flashes, my anxiety has decreased, and my mental state feels more stable. I want to continue using it, but I’m devastated that sales seem to have ended.

Lactobacillus association with pelvic pain
Urinary Microbiome and Cytokine Levels in Women With Interstitial Cystitis.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the urinary microbiome of women with interstitial cystitis and found it less diverse and containing fewer Lactobacillus acidophilus compared to a control group.
This lack of Lactobacillus was linked to more severe symptoms and poor quality of life. While we noted some associations between higher inflammatory markers and the severity of symptoms, we didn’t see a clear causal relationship.
Essentially, we’re still unsure if the presence of Lactobacillus can effectively reduce pelvic pain in this context.
