Probiotics in IBS Management

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder. The evidence for probiotics is strong, but highly strain-specific.

The Problem with Multi-Strain Blends

Many commercial IBS products utilize multi-strain blends without clinical validation of the final formulation. However, evidence points to specific monostrains being highly effective.

Validated Strains for IBS

• B. infantis 35624: Broad symptom relief (pain, bloating, bowel habit).
• L. plantarum 299v: Primarily effective for abdominal pain.
