L. acidophilus significantly reduced these symptoms.

Lactose intolerance
L. acidophilus helps the body metabolize and break down lactose. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, around 65 percent of adults worldwide find it difficult to digest lactose following infancy. Lactose intolerance can cause intestinal pain, diarrhea, gas, and bloating.
L. acidophilus supplements may help relieve the effects of lactose intolerance by helping the body metabolize lactose.
Yeast infections

Vaginal yeast infections are common, and it can take several days for over-the-counter or prescription remedies to work. Some people notice that they get yeast infections following treatment with certain medications. It may be because the drugs kill both good and bad bacteria.
Several studies suggest that probiotics may help prevent vaginal yeast infections and possibly other vaginal infections.
