RESEARCH-PROVEN
FOR 10 SPECIFIC HEALTH CONDITIONS

When you think of probiotics, you think of gut health… but keeping your gut
happy is just the tip of the iceberg of what these amazing organisms can
do for your health! In this research roundup, we’ll be sharing the specific
strains indicated in the research as helpful for 10 different conditions -
from reflux to weight gain.
WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS?

Probiotics means “for life” and the name rings true! They are friendly
smaller-than-microscopic organisms that colonize the human body (mainly
in the digestive system) and work with our body to help keep us healthy
and thriving. Probiotics can be found naturally in food or taken as a
supplement.

ACNE
Multiple factors contribute to the formation of
acne, including bacteria growth, excess oil
production, skin shedding, and more. Since the
1960s researchers have been studying the potential
of oral probiotics to improve acne. One study,
conducted in the 1960s, found that 80% of patients
given L. acidophilus and L. bulgaricus saw an
improvement in their acne. Another study in 1985
gave half of a group of 40 participants 250 mg of

freeze-dried L. acidophilus and
Bifidobacterium bifidum. Those that received the
probiotic had better outcomes and fewer new
acne lesions.
WEIGHT LOSS &

WEIGHT GAIN
Weight loss and preventing weight gain are some
of the most difficult health issues many people
face. Imagine how your life would be different if
losing weight (and keeping it off) was easy?
Luckily, there has been some promising research
regarding probiotics for maintaining a healthy
weight. First, multiple studies have shown people
who are overweight have different bacterial
makeups than people who are thin: less

Bacteroidetes and more Firmicutes. In one
human study, participants were fed a high-
calorie, high-fat diet and half were given the
probiotic Lactobacillus casei Shirota.

Those that received the probiotic gained less weight and did not develop insulin
resistance (the first step in Type 2 diabetes). Multiple studies have shown that
Lactobacillus gasseri can reduce weight - particularly stubborn belly fat (both in
human and rat studies).
TRAVELER’S
DIARRHEA
Nothing ruins an amazing vacation like a bout of
traveler’s diarrhea...but no matter how careful
you are about what you eat and drink, it might
just strike! Fortunately, a meta analysis has found
that multiple studies show a certain probiotic has
proved effective for preventing traveller’s
diarrhea: Saccharomyces cerevisiae var

boulardii. (This strain is sold in the U.S. as the
brand Florastor.) Even more interesting?
Researchers also tested L. acidophilus strains
and found they were NOT effective at treating or
preventing traveler’s diarrhea, so be sure to look
for S. boulardii.
ACID REFLUX
Millions of people young and old suffer with
painful acid reflux… but most medical solutions
only offer a bandaid, not a root cause solution.
Could probiotics be the answer? While more
research needs to be done, there are some
promising studies to consider. In the first, the
strain B. bifidum YIT 10347 reduced the
frequency of regurgitation. In another, the strain
B. lactis HN019 reduced regurgitation in human
subjects.

LACTOSE
INTOLERANCE
Most people lactose intolerance is either
something you have or don’t have… and have NO
clue that your microbiome can actually control
whether or not you can tolerate dairy products. If
you’re lactose intolerant: listen up! In a well-known
study, 90% of people given milk inoculated with L.

acidophilus were less symptomatic than they
were when given plain milk. L. acidophilus is one of
the most well-studied and common probiotic
strains, and can even be used as a starter to make
homemade yogurt.
ANTIBIOTIC
RECOVERY
There’s not much you can do when a round of
antibiotics is necessary… but the bloating, pain,
diarrhea, and constipation that antibiotics can
bring as side effects? Probiotics can help with
those! A 2010 study found that 2 capsules of 50
billion c.f.u. of Lactobacillus acidophilus

CL1285 and Lactobacillus casei LBC80R Bio-
K+ CL1285 reduced post-antibiotic
gastrointestinal symptoms. Buy this in the U.S.
under the brand name Bio-K+.

ALLERGIES
Snuffy, sniffling, sneezing - seasonal allergies suck.
Over-the-counter meds can leave you grumpy or
groggy… could probiotics be a better solution? In a
2017 study, individuals who took 1.5 billion CFU of a
multi-strain probiotic containing L. gasseri KS-13,

B. bifidum G9-1, and B. longum MM2 2 times
daily had reduced seasonal allergy symptoms and
better quality of life compared to those who took a
placebo.
ANXIETY /
DEPRESSION
How could probiotics possibly help deal with
issues in your brain? The brain and gut are
connected through what is called the gut-brain
axis, and it’s via this route that scientists believe
probiotics can have a major impact on anxiety
and depression. Multiple studies backup this
hypothesis. A 2016 double-blind, placebo-
controlled study showed that people who took
the strains Lactobacillus acidophilus,

Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium
bifidum had significantly decreased scores on
the Beck Depression Inventory.

CHRONIC FATIGUE
SYNDROME
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a mysterious
condition doctors still don’t fully understand, but
research suggests it’s related to elevated
inflammation in the body. Knowing that probiotics
can impact inflammation, you won’t be surprised to
hear there are some good results for CFS! One
study conducted in 2013 found that the probiotic
Bifidobacteria infantis 35624 could significantly
reduce elevated CRP (an inflammation marker) in
people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Another
study from 2009 showed that Lactobacillus
paracasei ssp. paracasei F19, Lactobacillus

acidophilus NCFB 1748 and Bifidobacterium
lactis Bb12 caused a significant improvement in
neurocognitive function in those with CFS.
CONSTIPATION
What’s worse than the uncomfortable sensation of
constipation? Luckily, probiotics are well known
for alleviating digestive issues and there is
evidence to support the use of multiple strains in
relieving constipation. Bifidobacterium animalis

subsp. lactis, BB-12® (sold as multiple brands in
the U.S.), when given as compared to placebo,
increased the frequency of bowel movements.
Another study showed Lactobacillus reuteri

DSM 17938 could increase weekly stool frequency
in adults, as well (look for this labeled BioGaia
ProTectis in the U.S.).

YOUR HOST...
I’m Shivan Sarna and over the past 20 years you may have seen me as a TV Host (especially
if you like shopping). I’m not a doctor, nutritionist, or any other kind of health practitioner. So
how did I end up at SIBO SOS®?
After a lifetime of digestive problems, I was diagnosed with Small Intestine Bacterial
Overgrowth in 2015. I was so excited to finally have a name for the symptoms that made me
miserable - but I was quickly very frustrated by how hard it was to get access to reliable
SIBO information, or even an appointment with a doctor who had experience treating SIBO. I
set out to get answers about SIBO for myself - but along the way, I met
hundreds (and then thousands) of other people like you who had the same
problems: How do we find experts who really understand SIBO? What do
we do if we can’t travel to see one of these experts? Will we have to suffer
forever?
I went back to my teaching roots, I taught yoga in my own studio
for years, and focused on bringing the experts together in one
place to teach all of us: that’s how SIBO SOS® was born.
After finding the answers for myself, I created SIBO SOS® to get
the answers to YOU. In your journey to understand, treat, and
manage IBS, SIBO, and other digestive issues, I’m your guide,
advocate, support, and shoulder to cry on. I won’t tell you what to
do - but I’ll give you a nudge, introduce you to the people with the
answers, and always be here to encourage you.
I created the SIBO SOS® Masterclass and Q&As to
solve this problem. Each Masterclass and Q&A
gives you the opportunity to learn from an expert
practitioner directly and then ask YOUR unique
questions. It’s like attending a medical school class
and having an office visit all rolled into one. I’m
alongside you for support, guidance, and a
shoulder to lean on. I’ve been where you are today,
and it would be an honor to help guide you
forward. Let’s kick SIBO’s butt together!
Get the answers you need so you can start healing
and get back to life!
