Top Medical Research Studies

Our research aimed to understand how a specific symbiotic gel, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, affects gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn, in hemodialysis patients.

We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 42 participants over two months. The group receiving the symbiotic gel reported significant improvements in the frequency and severity of symptoms like heartburn and stomachache compared to the control group.

Overall, the gel appeared safe with no adverse effects noted. More extensive studies are needed, but these findings suggest promising benefits for managing heartburn in dialysis patients.

Probiotics improve GI symptoms post-surgery
We examined whether probiotics could ease gastrointestinal (GI) discomforts after gastric bypass surgery. In a double-blind, randomized study, 60 patients were assigned to receive either Bifidobacterium longum, another probiotic, or digestive enzymes. After just two weeks, everyone saw notable improvements in their quality of life. Specifically, symptoms like heartburn, gas, and abdominal bloating lessened significantly. While this is promising, the long-term benefits of probiotics in managing GI episodes post-surgery remain to be fully understood.

Food supplement enhances heartburn relief
We evaluated a food supplement that contained the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus, along with peptides and multivitamins, to see if it could help relieve heartburn in people with mild-to-moderate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

In a well-structured, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 56 adults took either the supplement or a placebo for 28 days.

Results showed that those taking the supplement experienced a significant decrease in heartburn frequency and severity, along with a drop in over-the-counter medication use. Overall, participants reported improvements in their quality of life compared to those on placebo.

Heartburn relief

Consuming this for almost a year has significantly improved my IBS. My heartburn has reduced considerably, and my digestion is much better, enhancing the absorption of vitamins and minerals evident from my blood tests. This probiotic has been among the best for my gut health, alleviating constipation. I now take L-Carnitine with it on an empty stomach, leading to less irritation of my bowel.
