Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Lactobacillus delbrueckii is a species of lactic acid bacteria commonly used in the fermentation of dairy products, particularly yogurt (notably the subspecies bulgaricus). Its use in supporting or treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is primarily based on its role as a probiotic, with the general premise that probiotics can help balance intestinal microflora and improve gut health. However, the specific scientific evidence for L. delbrueckii (without specifying subspecies) in IBS is limited and not robust. Most clinical trials and meta-analyses investigating probiotics for IBS focus on other strains such as Lactobacillus plantarum, L. rhamnosus, or various Bifidobacterium species.

A few studies have examined multispecies probiotic formulations that include L. delbrueckii (usually ssp. bulgaricus) in combination with other strains. These formulations sometimes show mild benefits in global IBS symptoms, abdominal pain, or bloating, but it is difficult to attribute the effects specifically to L. delbrueckii. To date, there is a lack of high-quality, large-scale randomized controlled trials directly evaluating L. delbrueckii as a monotherapy for IBS.

In summary, while there is some limited scientific rationale and preliminary evidence for the use of L. delbrueckii-containing probiotics in IBS (largely due to its presence in fermented dairy and multispecies products), the overall evidence is weak, and L. delbrueckii is not a leading probiotic for IBS in the scientific literature.
