Probiotics improve stress-related nausea
Probiotic food supplement reduces stress-induced gastrointestinal symptoms in volunteers: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
Significant impact on nausea
We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess how Lactobacillus acidophilus might help with stress-related gastrointestinal issues, particularly nausea. Over three weeks, volunteers received either a probiotic called Probio-Stick or a placebo.

We found that consumption of the probiotics significantly eased nausea and abdominal pain linked to stress. However, it didn't have a notable impact on other symptoms like sleep problems or psychological distress. Overall, our findings suggest that Probio-Stick is effective for alleviating certain gastrointestinal symptoms caused by stress.

Probiotics reduced bloating, not nausea
Effects of Probiotics Supplementation on Gastrointestinal Symptoms and SIBO after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Relevant for understanding postoperative care.
We explored how Lactobacillus acidophilus affects nausea in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery through a well-structured study.

In this randomized, double-blind trial, participants were divided into two groups: one received probiotics while the other received a placebo. After 90 days, those on probiotics reported a decrease in bloating but experienced more abdominal pain and episodes of nausea compared to the control group.

Ultimately, while probiotics helped with bloating, they did not significantly affect nausea or the prevalence of small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Probiotics enhance H. pylori treatment
Efficacy and safety of probiotic-supplemented triple therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in children: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Highly relevant to pediatric care.
We explored the use of probiotics in triple therapy for treating Helicobacter pylori infections in children. Our analysis included 29 trials with over 3,100 participants.

The findings show that probiotic supplementation, specifically strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus, significantly improved eradication rates and reduced side effects.

This suggests that certain probiotics can offer added benefits during treatment, particularly in reducing nausea and vomiting.

Probiotics show potential benefits
Effects of probiotics on gastric microbiota and its precombination with quadruple regimen for Helicobacter pylori eradication.
Important findings for future research.
We observed patients who struggled to eliminate Helicobacter pylori after multiple attempts. They received a 2-week course of Lactobacillus acidophilus, followed by a ten-day eradication regimen.

While this treatment showed a high eradication rate of 97.3%, it did not significantly change the gastric microbiota or directly reduce nausea. Instead, it improved some beneficial bacteria and reduced overall dyspeptic symptoms.

Notably, some participants experienced mild adverse effects, including dizziness and nausea, which resolved after stopping the antibiotics.
