Are you considering Irritable Bowel Syndrome probiotics for your symptoms? Well, I have created this complete self help guide to steer you through the world of probiotics and the best products that are available for your IBS symptoms.
What Are IBS Probiotics?
Probiotics are bacteria present in your food stuffs such as yoghurt and drinks.
They can also be found in tablets and elixirs and contain the so called "good bacteria" as they don't cause harm when ingested and can help with
symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
It is thought probiotics for IBS work by competing with the 'bad bacteria' in the gut and also help by adding to the 'good bacteria' in the gut too.
Your bowel contains trillions of bacteria and it doesn't take much to upset the composition of them. Antibiotic use, surgery, gastroenteritis (a common trigger for the condition) and altered immunity can all play their role in this and it seems logical that replacing them might help you. I'm sure you have noticed the effect antibiotics have on your bowel when you've previously taken them? Yes, they often make stools loose and this is partly down to the displacement of good bacteria!
About IBS probiotics
There are many different Irritable Bowel Syndrome probiotics, but the two main bacteria used are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacter. They are not a 'cure', but I believe in years to come, they will be used to greater affect.
The other exciting development is 'prebiotics' which are food for the 'good bacteria'. They are non-digestible and can be targeted at certain bacteria to promote their growth in the gut. This technology is still in its infancy and will likely expand as research develops in this area.
One study of Irritable Bowel Syndrome probiotics called
ProVen
has shown some promise, but there are many others available on the market. I would like to discuss some of these probiotics and IBS here. Below, you will see some of the common IBS probiotics available to you. I have included links so you can try these for yourself if you wish too. I would also like to ask your help too.

Visitors Comments On IBS Probiotics
Lisa, UK - comment on VSL 3 Probiotics"I was asked to try the strong VSL 4 probiotics after a course of taking Amoxicillin for 10 days. Whilst the antibiotics caused havoc to my bowels, the VSL probiotics for IBS didn't make matters any better; in fact as they were so strong, they made my IBS-D worse so I stopped taking them. A day or two after stopping the probiotics I was feeling better. They do not contain Fructooligosaccharides (FOS's) which are very bad for a person with IBS which I think is what the problem is with me. I cannot tolerate those kind of sugars. I hope this can help in some way. I am thinking of trying 'Ecodophilus' instead."
