This study tests whether giving children a probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii alongside their antibiotic can prevent diarrhea that often comes with antibiotics. It may help children aged 6 months to 5 years who are taking co-amoxiclav for a cold or upper respiratory infection.
This trial tests a bacteria called Clostridium butyricum to see if it can help people with a type of Crohn's disease that causes narrowing in the right colon or ileocecal area. It may offer a new option for those not on strong immune-suppressing medications.
This trial tests whether taking sodium butyrate (a short-chain fatty acid) and a specific probiotic yeast called Kluyveromyces marxianus can help keep ulcerative colitis in remission and prevent flare-ups. You'd need to be in remission (symptom-free with no active inflammation) when you start.
This trial tests whether a specific probiotic (Bacillus subtilis) can help relieve symptoms in people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study also looks at whether the probiotic works by increasing a natural chemical called hypoxanthine in the body.
This study tests if a supplement called butyrate can help improve gut health in children aged 3-6 who have autism and ongoing stomach problems like constipation or bloating. It aims to see if this treatment eases their digestive symptoms.
This trial tests a new treatment made from gut bacteria for people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea (IBS-D). The treatment may help restore healthy gut bacteria and reduce symptoms.
