Effects of probiotics on gastrointestinal symptoms, anthropometric measurements, and breastfeeding duration in infants with colic: a randomized control trial

“…14 Several studies have shown high incidence rates of colic in infants of mothers over the age of 30 years. [15][16][17][18] The findings of the current study are in line with those in the literature.…”

Randomised clinical trial: a liquid multi-strain probiotic vs. placebo in the irritable bowel syndrome - a 12 week double-blind study

“…The improvement in the IBS‐SSS in this study is similar to some other probiotic studies although not all; with different beneficial effects on the composites of the score with different probiotics. Collectively this is indicative of the efficacy of probiotics in IBS.…”

“…Recent studies confirm that most IBS patients change subtype over time and suggest that a consistent stool pattern sub-classification requires a 2 week assessment. 37 The improvement in the IBS-SSS in this study is similar to some other probiotic studies [38][39][40] although not all 41,42 ; with different beneficial effects on the composites of the score with different probiotics. Collectively this is indicative of the efficacy of probiotics in IBS.…”

Probiotics and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in Pediatric Age: A Narrative Review

“…This preparation provides 450 billion of CFU bacteria per sachet, with 8 different strains ( Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaris , and Streptococcus thermophilus ). In this study, patients with on probiotics presented a significantly better score for abdominal pain/discomfort and for bloating/gassiness, with a consequent general satisfaction of caregivers ( 53 ).…”
