6. "The idea that probiotics for constipation might be effective was supported by studies that showed that probiotics had a positive effect on constipation symptoms in persons who suffered from irritable bowel syndrome, a condition characterized by spasms of the colon resulting in alternating constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Because of these positive results, further studies were carried out to address the role probiotics for constipation might play in the chronic constipation sufferer. So far, results of these studies have shown some support for use of probiotics for constipation, particularly in patients diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. Positive effects were seen more frequently when a mixture of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli were given. The thought is that the presence of these bacteria increases production of lactic acid which lowers the pH of the colon, resulting in enhanced colon motility and more regular bowel movements."
