Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS affects more than 6 million people in the UK. Sufferers have to cope with symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, stomach cramps, excessive wind and an urgent need to go to the loo.

New trials have discovered that a new probiotic called LAB4 - or ProVen in the shops - can help IBS sufferers.
