Re: Syl, about acidophilis..       04/04/10 06:18 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Oh - Lactobacillus acidophilis is an excellent probiotic for generally bowel health. And it along with some other probiotics have some efficacy treating and preventing things like traveler's D. However, if you check the American Gastroenterology's An Evidence-Based Systematic Review on the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome they say "In single organism studies, lactobacilli do not appear effective for patients with IBS; bifidobacteria and certain combinations of probiotics demonstrate some efficacy". If you want to read a good review of the probiotic research and IBS have a look at Meta-analysis of probiotics for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome or the World Gastroenterology Organisation Practice Guideline: Probiotics and Prebiotics . You might also checkout the video A Role for Probiotics in Treating IBS?. While L. acidophilis has been included in some multi-probiotic products such as VSL#3 by itself it has not yet been shown to be an effective tool for managing IBS symptoms. It definitely cannot hurt to take acidophilis and it might help with general colon health. However, the clinical evidence to date suggests it is not a particularly effective probiotic like Align and some others for managing IBS symptoms. I hope that helps. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
