It is perfectly normal and healthy to pass gas.  In fact, research shows that healthy individuals tend to pass gas around 10 to 20 times per day, but that doesn’t change the fact that flatulence is something people want to minimize.  While healthy in normal quantities, excess gas can be a sign of poor diet or a bacterial imbalance in the gut.  It’s also just kind of embarrassing.

One of the most common reasons people turn to probiotics is to find relief from excess gas.  Strains like B. breve and B. infantis have been shown to help reduce gassiness in children and adults.  It is important to note that for many people, probiotics can actually result in more gas initially.  When you flood your system with healthy bacteria, they work to bring the gut back to a healthy balance. This means either crowding out or killing off large numbers of unhealthy bacteria in the gut which can temporarily lead to excess gas until this waste is swept out of the system.

Probonix helps to promote better digestion and contains several strains that have been shown to help with gas.
