• Post-infectious IBS

• Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

• Effect of antibiotics on IBS symptoms

• Probiotic treatment for IBS

IBS can develop after Infection

• Salmonella

The risk is as high as 12x more than people without infection

Small Intestinal Bacterial Small Intestinal Bacterial OvergrowthOvergrowth

Colonic Fermentation

Antibiotics, good or bad?

• Antibiotic treatment may improve IBS symptoms if bacterial overgrowth is present

• But, IBS may also develop in some patients after receiving antibiotics for other infections

Protective effect of gut bacteria

How to achieve a balance between good and bad bacteria?

• Eg Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii

Effect of probiotics on the intestine

• Reduce amount of harmful bacteria

• Control inflammation

• Alter the intestinal movements

• Reduce gas production

Conclusions• IBS is a common condition that can severely affect a

person’s quality of life.

• Probiotic organisms may be useful in the treatment of IBS.

• However, the benefits in IBS are brought about by some but not all probiotic organisms.

• Different probiotic organisms have different effects; Some may have opposite effects on the intestines.
