Relatively few probiotics have been shown to be effective for IBS. However, two probiotics have been clinically shown to be effective for IBS-C: Align which contains Bifidobacterium infantis and the probiotic in Activia yogurt which contains Bifidobacterium lactis (see this posting in the research library). Many probiotics are likely to cause an increase in bloating and gas for up to 10-14 days until the gut gets accustom to them.
