The Gut Trust

Jonathan Blanchard Smith, Chair of The Gut Trust, the national charity for irritable bowel syndrome said: "We welcome the findings of this latest trial which support the recent NICE guidelines and our own advice as a charity that probiotics can be a help in managing the symptoms of IBS"

Presently IBS patients often manage their condition with the use of antidiarrhoeals, laxatives and anti-spasmodics, which can be ineffective and expensive, and do not address the issue of bacterial balance.
