Probiotics have shown promising results in preventing and managing radiation-induced diarrhea in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

The most frequently used probiotics for the Diarrhea / Diarrhoea (radiation-induced) in previous studies with somewhat positive results are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.
Linn et al. 2019 Probiotics Antimicrob. Proteins 11: 638-647
