Depends on probiotic: It's complicated. There are many different probiotics and some common ones may aggravate SIBO. Prescript-Assist and Sacchromyces Boulardii are likely to help. See http://chriskresser.com/treating-sibo-cold-thermogenisis-and-when-to-take-probiotics and scroll down to the section on "The most effective treatment for SIBO" for a good discussion of treatment by a reliable authority. Good luck!

You're right: The data is conflicting. Some studies say it works. Others show no difference between probiotics and placebo. What are you trying to cure ?
