Beneficial Effects of Long‐Term Consumption of a Probiotic Combination of <i>Lactobacillus casei</i> Shirota and <i>Bifidobacterium breve</i> Yakult May Persist After Suspension of Therapy in Lactose‐Intolerant Patients

Abstract

Four-week consumption of a probiotic combination of L casei Shirota and B breve Yakult seems to improve symptoms and decrease hydrogen production intake in lactose-intolerant patients. These effects may persist for at least 3 months after suspension of probiotic consumption.
