Brewer's yeast aids constipation relief
Effects of brewer's yeast cell wall on constipation and defecation in experimentally constipated rats.
Study shows positive results
We investigated the effects of brewer's yeast cell wall (BYC) on constipation in male rats induced by a medication called loperamide. In our findings, rats that received BYC showed significantly better defecation compared to those on a non-fiber diet or a cellulose-based diet. This improvement also included higher fecal water content and volatile fatty acids in the cecal contents. These results suggest that BYC can be beneficial in alleviating constipation by enhancing fermentation and water retention in the digestive system.

EpiCor modulates gut microbiome effects
A yeast fermentate improves gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation by modulation of the gut microbiome: results from a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot trial.
Moderate relevance to constipation treatment
We explored how EpiCor fermentate, derived from yeast, could help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation. Through a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 80 participants, we tracked changes in symptoms and bowel movements over six weeks.
Results showed that while EpiCor did modify the gut microbiome, any improvements in constipation symptoms were modest. Interestingly, the treatment seemed to encourage a quicker transit time for digestion, possibly changing the balance of gut bacteria. Overall, EpiCor may have some benefits, but its effects were not as significant as anticipated.

Probiotics significantly reduce AAD risk
Probiotics for the prevention of pediatric antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Moderate evidence for probiotics' use.
We evaluated the effectiveness of probiotics, including strains like Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Saccharomyces boulardii, in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in children. Our review covered 23 diverse studies involving nearly 4,000 young participants.
The results were promising: probiotics reduced the incidence of AAD from 19% to 8%. While results were generally optimistic, with no serious side effects reported, moderate evidence suggests further studies are needed before fully endorsing probiotics for all pediatric patients.

Quality of life
I can’t manage without these! I take one capsule after meals morning and evening. I’ve suffered from constipation since junior high, and this has greatly improved my quality of life. Without these probiotics, my stool firms considerably within three days. I keep them stocked at home because running out is troublesome!

Effective IBS symptom relief observed
Saccharomyces cerevisiae for abdominal pain and discomfort in irritable bowel syndrome patients.
Significant improvement reported
We explored the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). In a four-week study with thirty participants, we found that daily 500 mg doses of this yeast led to significant reductions in abdominal pain and improvements in overall quality of life.
Results showed pain scores decreased dramatically, and all quality of life measures improved after treatment. This suggests that Saccharomyces cerevisiae could be an effective option for those looking to alleviate IBS symptoms.

TRANSITECH improves bowel movement frequency
Randomized clinical trial: efficacy of a food supplement, TRANSITECH, on healthy individuals with mild intermittent constipation.
Highly relevant study findings.
We examined how TRANSITECH, a food supplement made from plants and lactic ferments, affects constipation in healthy adults. Over a 10-day period, participants took either TRANSITECH or a placebo.
After monitoring their bowel movements, colonic transit time (CTT), and bloating, we found that TRANSITECH significantly increased their bowel movements and improved transit times without causing discomfort.
Impressively, these benefits continued even after participants stopped using the supplement.

Saccharomyces boulardii improves constipation
APPLICATION OF THE SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII PROBIOTIC COMPLEX IN THE CORRECTION OF INTRAINTESTINAL HOMEOSTASIS IN PATIENTS WITH DYSBIOTIC DISORDERS DUE TO ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY.
Study shows positive clinical outcomes
We examined how Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic, can help patients experiencing constipation and other symptoms of dysbiosis. Over a two-year period, 209 patients were treated; those given this probiotic showed significant improvements.
Most reported a reduction in stool frequency and alleviation of discomfort, such as flatulence and abdominal pain. In fact, 92.9% of the 141 patients in the main treatment group experienced a noticeable improvement after the treatment course.
Overall, the findings suggest that Saccharomyces boulardii can effectively enhance intestinal health in individuals affected by gastrointestinal disorders, including constipation.
