Does Hill's Prescription Diet Gastrointestinal Biome actually help dogs with upset stomachs, or is it just hype?

My dog has been having some stomach issues lately, and I came across Hill's Prescription Diet Gastrointestinal Biome while doing research. It sounds promising, but I'm wondering if it really helps dogs with upset stomachs as advertised.
