the claim

Probiotic supplements cause gas and bloating.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that probiotic supplements cause gas and bloating?

Partly. A Cleveland Clinic page and Wikipedia note that probiotic supplements can cause temporary bloating and gas, while a randomized trial of one Bacillus coagulans strain found it reduced gas and bloating. The evidence covers only part of the picture and points in both directions.
