Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates bloating
We conducted a study to see if a fermented dairy product with Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 could help reduce bloating in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation. In a controlled trial with 34 participants over four weeks, we found that this probiotic significantly decreased abdominal girth and improved gastrointestinal transit times.
Patients reported feeling less bloated, and symptom severity also decreased. These findings suggest that fostering faster transit times may be an effective method to combat abdominal distension.

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.

Excellent flora for digestion! I took two capsules at night along with other supplements. After about two weeks, I noticed an improvement in my wellbeing. This product restores the natural microbial balance in the intestine, regulates the gastrointestinal tract, and helps maintain the growth of beneficial microorganisms. It can aid those who struggle with dairy. I’m definitely buying this again!

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.

We conducted a rigorous study to see how probiotic CECT 7347 (ES1) and its heat-treated version (HT-ES1) could help adults with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
With 200 participants, we divided them into three groups, administering either the probiotic, the heat-treated version, or a placebo over 12 weeks.
Both ES1 and HT-ES1 showed significant improvements in symptom severity compared to placebo, making them promising options for those seeking relief from IBS-D symptoms.

We examined the impact of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 combined with Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 on bloating in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In a controlled trial with 25 participants, we found that those treated with this probiotic formulation experienced a significant reduction in bloating, with a 36.35% decrease compared to an increase of 7.35% in the placebo group.
The treatment also led to improvements in abdominal pain and overall disease severity, pointing to its potential as an effective therapy for IBS symptoms.

As a pharmacist, I believe this is one of the best probiotics available. I noticed a positive change in my digestive health within two days, experiencing less bloating, indigestion, and irregularity. There are similarly effective products but at a much higher price. This is a fantastic value!

Although I started taking this medication, it eventually resulted in bloating. It may just be individual intolerance.

This product has effectively normalised my stool after gallbladder removal, reducing my bloating and gas. I recommend taking two capsules initially and then one twice daily for best results. The transition to capsules from pills has not affected me.

Bloating relief
These capsules are excellent. My stomach bloating has diminished significantly, and I now go to the loo twice daily without any issues. Taking just one capsule a day, I feel fantastic.

Slight bloating
I have struggled with constipation for years and tried numerous yogurts. I appreciate that you can obtain more lactic acid bacteria through these tablets, though taking two made me feel bloated. I intend to continue using it to see further effects.

Kefir probiotics reduce bloating
We explored the effects of probiotic strains from kefir on gastrointestinal health. Fifty-six healthy adults participated in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study. Over three weeks, those consuming AB-kefir experienced significantly reduced bloating and abdominal pain compared to the control group.
Notably, male participants showed marked improvements, along with shifts in their gut microbiota. This suggests that AB-kefir could be a natural approach to enhance gut health in adults.

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.
