Primary

Eases upper-abdominal burning

Fermented-milk trials have watched scores for gastric burning and post-meal upper discomfort. Mechanisms include restraining some Helicobacter pylori activity and lowering mucosal irritation. In people prone to empty-stomach gnawing and post-meal upper heat, what is felt is mostly whether burning eases.

Primary

Maintains gastric mucosal comfort

From the stomach through the proximal intestine the emphasis is mucus-layer protection, so upper-gut irritation is less passed downward as bloating. Adjunct research in Helicobacter pylori-positive people cites this strain more often. The post-meal upper abdomen and proximal intestine more readily quiet together.
