Why it gets suggested: Meant to steady stomach movement and lower the pressure that pushes acid up.

Dose: 10–20 billion_CFU

Why we could not verify it: No human clinical trial or systematic review testing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG specifically as a treatment for acid reflux or GERD symptoms was identified. The only LGG+GERD RCT (Dziechciarz 2020) enrolled children on PPI therapy and measured secondary infection rates, not reflux symptoms, finding no benefit. We cannot stand behind this claim on the evidence we have, so it carries no rating.
