Description
Jawad Alnajjar and co-authors weigh the use of probiotics for diverticular disease in this 2025 review. The disease forms small pouches in the gut wall and is common with age. It is linked to changes in gut microbes. The authors searched five databases for trials and other studies in adults up to October 2024.
Thirteen studies met their rules. Probiotic use was linked to less belly pain, and long-term trials showed a lower risk of the disease coming back. Signs for bloating were weak, and a pooled result for an inflammation marker was not sound. Multi-strain mixes used for longer spans looked best. The authors rate the proof as low and call for larger, stronger trials.
