Probiotics can cut short the duration of stomach disorders, found a review of 63 studies involving more than 8,000 adults and children with acute diarrhea.

The participants were given either a specific probiotic or a placebo on a random basis for 2 weeks. Factors like the effect of the probiotics on diarrhea, change in frequency or duration were taken into account by the researchers.

Taking a probiotic also reduced the risk of having diarrhea which generally lasted for more than 4 days and cut short the duration by over 1 day (24.76 hours). The difference was found to be noticeable from second day of illness with slightly fewer stools in the participants taking probiotics compared to the control group and gradually improving over the course of the illness.

The results remained unaffected even when factors like the type of organism causing infection, diarrhea severity, probiotic dose, strain or number of strains, study location or study quality were taken into consideration.
