Lactobacillus improves bloating symptoms
Probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 versus placebo for the symptoms of bloating in patients with functional bowel disorders: a double-blind study.
Relevance score indicates significant findings
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
[Lactobacilli in the treatment of dyspepsia due to dysmicrobia of various causes].
Effective probiotic for dyspepsia
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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus reduces flatus
Clinical effects of Lactobacillus strains as probiotics in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. Results from the LAPIBSS trial: Future objectives.
Moderate relevance for IBS treatment
We used a rigorous clinical trial to investigate the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus on bloating and other IBS symptoms. Involving 80 patients diagnosed with IBS, we followed a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach over eight weeks.
While the treatment did not significantly relieve abdominal pain, we noted a marked decrease in flatus and overall symptom scores at eight weeks. This suggests that while lactobacillus acidophilus may not help with all IBS symptoms, it could be beneficial for reducing bloating-related discomfort.

Bloating relief
They work wonderfully! After identifying a lack of useful microflora in my analysis, I opted for these bacteria from NOW Foods. I’m pleased with this brand. Since starting the two-week course, I've noticed that the bloating has subsided, and my complexion has improved significantly.

SCM-III improves IBS symptoms
Single-blind follow-up study on the effectiveness of a symbiotic preparation in irritable bowel syndrome.
49% relevance, clinically significant
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.

Lactobacillus reduces bloating effectively
Effects of Probiotics Supplementation on Gastrointestinal Symptoms and SIBO after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Validated probiotic impact on symptoms.
We investigated how Lactobacillus acidophilus affects bloating in patients following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients received either probiotic supplements or placebo for 90 days. While both groups experienced similar rates of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), those in the probiotic group reported significantly less bloating. They also noted increased abdominal pain initially, but that decreased over time, along with more episodes of soft stools and nausea. Hence, probiotics effectively reduce bloating without impacting SIBO levels.

Probiotics alleviate bloating in IBS
Effect of multispecies probiotics on irritable bowel syndrome: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Relevant efficacy in IBS treatment.
We examined how multispecies probiotics, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, affect bloating in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a randomized, double-blind trial, 49 IBS patients were split into two groups: one received probiotics and the other a placebo for four weeks.
By the end of the study, we found that 68% of the probiotics group reported significant relief from IBS symptoms, including reduced bloating. Fecal analysis indicated beneficial changes in gut bacteria from the probiotics, highlighting their potential role in improving IBS symptoms.

I tried NOW Foods Acidophilus to enhance my digestive health after antibiotics disrupted my gut flora. I've seen substantial progress with my digestion and a reduction in bloating. The capsules are easy to swallow, gluten-free, and perfect for travel. I will continue using it and recommend it to others.
