VSL#3® Capsules for the Dietary Management of IBS

Doctor Recommended

VSL#3® reports that 93% of gastroenterologists in a 2002 survey said their IBS patients were satisfied with VSL#3®. Reported observations included less bloating and pain and changes in stool consistency and frequency. Source: manufacturer data on file.

Published Research & FODMAP Friendly Certification

A small, open-label randomized crossover study compared VSL#3® sachets with a low-FODMAP diet. Thirteen of 21 participants who received the probiotic met the study’s response threshold after the first course. The study used sachets and does not establish the same result for the capsules sold here.
