We explored the impact of adding probiotics, specifically two Lactobacillus strains, to standard treatment for patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). In a randomized, single-blinded trial, 100 patients were divided into two groups—one receiving standard care and the other receiving probiotics along with the standard treatment over 12 weeks.
Both groups showed improvement in IBS symptoms, but the group receiving probiotics experienced greater reductions. Notably, 100% of probiotic-treated patients saw either full remission or mild symptoms, contrasting with 14.3% from the standard treatment. Overall, these findings suggest probiotics can significantly enhance IBS management.

We explored how different forms of Lactobacillus acidophilus influence gut health and diarrhea in young calves. By dividing twenty calves into treatment and control groups, we evaluated the effects of microencapsulated, lyophilized, and fermented probiotic products.
Our findings showed that calves receiving probiotics experienced reduced fecal scores and less diarrhea compared to the control group. Notably, there was an increase in beneficial gut bacteria and a decrease in harmful coliforms.
However, despite improvements in gut flora and immunity, we found no significant changes in nutrient utilization or weight gain.

We explored the effectiveness of probiotics, specifically those available in Japan, on children suffering from acute gastroenteritis. By reviewing 14 randomized controlled studies, we observed that children taking probiotics experienced diarrhea almost a day earlier than those on placebo.
Furthermore, hospital stays were also shorter for the probiotic group. However, it’s important to note that the evidence regarding these benefits is very weak. While there’s some promise in using probiotics for treating diarrhea, we remain cautious about the strength of these findings.

Chronic diarrhea fixed
9 people found this helpful
No more diarrhoea! After struggling with chronic diarrhoea for months, I decided to try a probiotic. I went from experiencing intestinal cramping and diarrhoea 6-8 times a day to no diarrhoea at all. After just three days, I had my first "normal poop"—a wonderful change! Highly recommend!

Siege elimination. After suffering from severe diarrhoea for 13 days, I took four capsules of Now acidophilus. After one dose that night and one before each meal the next day, the siege was over. Whatever was causing my issues was resolved, though I cannot definitively state that one day's use of this product is a valid test. I'll continue taking it with meals from now on.

Excellent! It has completely resolved my diarrhea. I had a nervous colon, but after using this treatment, the problem has disappeared. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with diarrhoea or colon issues.

We explored the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus and L. plantarum on patients suffering from diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). In a randomized, single-blinded clinical trial of 100 patients, some received standard IBS treatment alone while others added probiotics to their therapy.
After 12 weeks, both groups saw improvements, but those who took probiotics reported significantly better outcomes. Patients using probiotics experienced greater reductions in IBS symptoms, achieving near complete relief, while some on standard treatment still faced moderate symptoms. This suggests probiotics could enhance IBS management.

Acidophilus shows potential for diarrhea relief
We examined how acidophilus combined with montmorillonite powder impacts diarrhea in children suffering from rotavirus enteritis. In our study, 94 children were randomized into two groups. While one group received standard treatment plus montmorillonite, the other was given acidophilus.
The group taking acidophilus had faster relief from diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration. Their overall effectiveness rate was also high at nearly 96%. Although they showed some improvement in inflammatory markers, this was not statistically significant.
Both treatments had a good safety profile, making this combination a promising option for symptom relief.

We explored the impact of multistrain probiotics, specifically Sensi-Biome, on diarrhea in a controlled rat model. The results showed that the probiotics led to significant improvements in stool moisture, intestinal movement, and pH levels.
Interestingly, serotonin levels decreased, indicating a potential link to how these probiotics affect gut health. While some positive changes were observed, the overall findings suggest that while Sensi-Biome has potential, its effectiveness in controlling diarrhea may vary and doesn’t guarantee relief in every instance.

We evaluated the role of the probiotic Neobiotic Lactobalance® in alleviating diarrhea linked to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
Our study involved 54 patients who took one capsule daily for 21 days.
We found significant reductions in diarrhea symptoms and abdominal discomfort, particularly in those with IBS and AAD. Microbiota analysis revealed improvements in beneficial bacteria levels, suggesting that this probiotic can help restore gut health and reduce diarrhea severity effectively.

Controls diarrhea

Excellent acidophilus! It's effective for controlling diarrhoea. While Bifidobacterium might assist with constipation, I can only speak to its efficacy with diarrhoea as I have never experienced constipation myself.

Support for IBS
After a week of use, I switched to two pills in the evening for my irritable bowels and diarrhoea. It’s very beneficial, also helping a family member with chronic diarrhoea. Dosage varies by individual needs.

Effective for IBS

It's very effective for diarrhoea associated with irritable bowel syndrome. It doesn't cause urgent bowel movements after meals and helps form loose stools. For chronic diarrhoea, I recommend three to four pieces daily, taken between meals.

Helps with stool formation

I tried this product with two people, one with long-term diarrhoea and the other with constipation. While it helped form stools for the person with diarrhoea, it worked slowly for the constipated one. Overall, the packaging was normal and it had no peculiar taste.

Normalises health
We ordered this for ourselves and our parents in case of antibiotic use or diarrhoea. Unlike the previous tetracycline treatment, this is more effective, and just one to two capsules are sufficient to normalise everything.
