CECT 7347 reduces IBS-D symptoms
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial exploring CECT 7347 (ES1) and heat-treated CECT 7347 (HT-ES1) revealed promising results for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

We found that after 12 weeks, both ES1 and HT-ES1 significantly reduced symptom severity compared to a placebo, as shown by lower IBS-Symptom Severity Scale scores.

Other improvements included better stool consistency and quality of life. This study marks a breakthrough with the first positive findings for a probiotic or postbiotic from this strain specifically for IBS-D patients.

Effective treatment for IBS-C
We aimed to understand how Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 (RH 3201) affects irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) through a thorough study. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 30 participants took either RH 3201 or a placebo for 8 weeks.

Those taking RH 3201 experienced significant improvements, including fewer bowel discomforts and reduced bloating issues. We also observed an increase in certain beneficial gut bacteria and a link between specific metabolites and symptom relief. Overall, RH 3201 shows promise as an effective treatment for IBS-C.

Lactobacillus drink benefits IBS-C
We explored the impact of a Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink on individuals with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Over 30 days, participants consumed this drink daily while we assessed their clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers.

Impressively, 97.4% reported improvement in symptoms, along with noticeable reductions in intestinal transit time and fecal pH. Evidence also showed lowered levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in IBS-C participants, supporting potential adjunctive benefits of this treatment for IBS-C patients.

Improved condition quickly
After developing irritable bowel syndrome from stress in the military, I had severe abdominal pain and diarrhoea. I tried Now Foods lactobacillus, taking two 100 billion tablets daily. Remarkably, my symptoms improved significantly within days. This product has become part of my daily routine.

Essential treatment
Essential for irritable bowel syndrome! This is a must-have! The WeCare app highlights 10 billion species, and Now Foods Lactobacillus is well-known for its cost-effectiveness. The product also offers great value. The capsules are not too large and have no odour, making them easy to take.

Effective probiotic IBS treatment
This randomized, single-blinded trial evaluated the impact of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus and plantarum, on patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

We found that when added to standard IBS treatment, these probiotics significantly improved symptoms over a 12-week period.

Group B, the probiotic group, experienced better results, including fewer days with pain and greater satisfaction with bowel habits. While both groups saw reductions in IBS severity, the probiotics led to complete remission in many patients, which is promising for future treatment guidelines.

Probiotics improve IBS symptoms
This study looked into the effects of two probiotic strains, DDS-1 and UABla-12, on alleviating abdominal pain and other IBS symptoms.

We observed that participants taking these probiotics experienced notable reductions in pain severity and overall symptom scores compared to those receiving a placebo.

Specifically, both probiotic groups reported improved bowel habits and stool consistency, enhancing quality of life for adults facing IBS.

Overall, the results suggest that these probiotic strains can be beneficial for managing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
