Probiotic Eleven contains a variety of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bacteria. Clinical trials suggest that Lactobacillus species are not very effective for managing IBS symptoms. On the other hand Bifidobacterium, particularly Bifidobacterium infantis found in the clinically tested Align probiotic, are effective.

A bigger concern is the fact that this probiotic contains the added ingredient FOS which can exacerbate IBS symptoms. As Heather says FOS is a rapidly fermenting probiotic that can cause a sudden release of gas, bloating, and subsequent abdominal pain. It sure does for me - even in small amount
