Randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeCNCM I-3856 in irritable bowel syndrome: improvement in abdominal pain and bloating in those with predominant constipation

Abstract: BackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and/or discomfort. Probiotics have been reported to benefit IBS symptoms but the level of benefit remains quite unclear.ObjectiveThis study was designed to assess the benefit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae I-3856 on IBS symptoms.MethodsA randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial has been performed in 379 subjects with diagnosed IBS. Subjects were randomly supplemented with t… Show more

“…Our ex vivo perfusion setup may provide a relatively simple, though not high throughput, method to screen yeasts or fungi for beneficial effects on the host intestine. Previously discussed results of S. cerevisiae and S. boulard ii clinical trials further support the therapeutic potential of Saccharomyces yeasts in humans[7,11]. We predict that the beneficial or probiotic potential of fungi and yeasts is set to expand with increased research, initially in animal models followed by human trials.…”

“…Suggestive for a potential beneficial role for S. cerevisiae are reports indicating that this strain may provoke immune stimulation in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus [10]. Supplementation with a S. cerevisiae I-3856 strain may improve symptoms in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome patients[11]. There is also evidence that a S. cerevisiae UFMG 905 strain can bind to bacteria and modulate inflammation pathways in a murine model of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection[12].…”

“…However, recent randomised controlled trials demonstrated no significant benefit of probiotics preparations over placebo in the treatment of pain in adults with IBS44 in contrast to the benefit observed in some (but not all) trials in children with regard to frequency and intensity of abdominal pain, for example, with a combination of three Bifidobacterial species45 or a single bacterial species 46…”

“…Two randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have been conducted and published[10,11] involving a total of 579 IBS subjects. We decided to perform an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis to confirm the previous findings and strengthen conclusions on this particular yeast strain.…”
