by Shivan Sarna

The following probiotics have been well studied and shown to be useful for people with IBS and/or SIBO. Megaspore: a spore-based probiotic containing very hardy strains that can survive the stomach acid and arrive intact in the small intestine. Saccharomyces boulardii: a yeast-based probiotic that is ideal for people with SIBO, IBS, immune deficiency, travelers’ diarrhea, and more. Jarrow Formulas Ideal Bowel Support 229v: ideal for people with IBS, abdominal pain, and bloating. Visbiome: for people with IBS symptoms, IBD, and other more severe intestinal dysbiosis. Metagenics UltraFlora Acute Care: for people with functional GI symptoms who tend toward constipation and have slow intestinal transit. NOW Foods Clinical GI Probiotic: for people with functional GI symptoms who tend toward constipation and have slow intestinal transit. Align: for IBS patients and other functional gut disorders. BioGaia Protectis: for people with methane-type SIBO. Doctor’s Best Digestive Health 2 Billion: has been shown to help with diarrhea-type symptoms. Culturelle Pro-Well Health & Wellness: a well-studied option for people with IBS and other digestive symptoms; the Health & Wellness formula within the Culturelle line does not contain any prebiotics. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria in your gut, but they are problematic for people with SIBO because they are also food for the overgrown bacteria in your small intestine, which ferments them, creating gas and thus aggravating SIBO symptoms.
