How it works
Modulate gut microbiome composition, reduce intestinal permeability, and interact with the enteric nervous system via immune and neuroendocrine pathways.
Look for specific strains with evidence: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, or Saccharomyces boulardii. Product quality varies enormously.
Meta-analyses support probiotics for IBS overall, but effect sizes are moderate. Specific strains show better evidence than multi-strain formulas.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
