Hello -
Recent research shows that probiotics work for IBS and other disorders - but only if you choose the right disease-specific strain. See the chart below...
It turns out that different probiotic strains have distinct functions. Choosing the wrong one could mean seeing little to no benefit.
The new study, published in Frontiers in Medicine, emphasizes the importance of matching your probiotic strain to your specific health condition.
For IBS, the most effective strains were:
* B. infantis 35624
* L. plantarum 299v
* A blend of strains including: B. breve BB02, B. longum BL03, B. infantis BI04, L. acidophilus BA05, L. plantarum BP06, L. paracasei BP07, L. helveticus BD08, Strept. thermophiles BT01
For inflammatory bowel diseases, the most effective strains were:
S. boulardii
* A blend of strains including: B. breve BB02, B. longum BL03, B. infantis BI04, L. acidophilus BA05, L. plantarum BP06, L. paracasei BP07, L. helveticus BD08, Strept. thermophiles BT01
In comparison, the strain Bifidobacterium longum was found more suited for improving mood and mental health.
And skin conditions such as eczema responded better to Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
So not all probiotics are created equal, and their benefits are highly specific.
Good to know!
For brands that have these strains, look for:
VSL #3 - also called VisBiome - at amazon, otherwise hard to find - has the blend of strains for IBS
Health food store staple Jarrow Ideal Bowel Support has L. plantarum 299v
Please just make sure to read the labels to make sure the specific strains are what you are looking for.
And more about probiotics and prebiotics for IBS...
You are not alone!
