New research shows that a probiotic found in breastmilk may help ease cramping in the gut. In tests on mice, researchers found that a strain of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri helps lessen painful muscle contractions just minutes after exposure. According to the study's authors, this finding suggests that the probiotic may help relieve symptoms of certain gut conditions (including irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and inflammatory bowel disorders like and Crohn's disease).
Past studies have shown that probiotics (a type of beneficial bacteria) may help enhance gut health by correcting imbalances in the intestine. For instance, taking probiotics may help treat diarrhea, promote recovery from colitis, and alleviate gastrointestinal problems resulting from use of antibiotics. Available in supplement form, probiotics also occur naturally in cultured dairy products (such as yogurt and kefir) and in fermented foods like sauerkraut and kim chi.

However, not all probiotics are created the same, are they? Almost all yogurt contains these cultures, but seem seem to work better than others. Thoughts?
