Probiotic trial to help gut changes caused by acid-reducing pills
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a probiotic called Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG can improve gut bacteria changes caused by proton pump inhibitors (acid-reducing medicines). It mainly involves people who are otherwise healthy and do not currently have ongoing stomach or gut symptoms.

This study tests whether taking a daily probiotic capsule has any effect on healthy people. It is a simple trial that just requires you to take the supplement and attend two clinic visits, so it may help us learn more about probiotics and digestive health.
This study tests whether a placebo probiotic can improve gut health and overall well-being in people with mild digestive issues like gas, bloating, or irregularity. If you have mild symptoms that don't stop your daily activities, this trial may help understand if believing you're taking a probiotic can make you feel better.
This trial is testing a new probiotic called Akkermansia muciniphila in healthy adults. It aims to see if the supplement is safe and well-tolerated, possibly helping with gut health.
This study looks at how acid-reducing medicines called proton pump inhibitors (like omeprazole) affect the natural bacteria in your gut. You'll be asked to take a small capsule that collects samples from your digestive system to see how these medicines change your gut health.
This study tests if the medicine omeprazole, commonly used for acid reflux, changes the bacteria in the gut. It may help doctors understand how this treatment affects people with obesity and reflux, and why some people might benefit more than others.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) and zinc supplements together can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux (GERD) and improve the health of your esophagus. It is a phase 4 study, which means these treatments are already in use, and this trial looks at how well they work in real-world patients.
