Can a probiotic ease anxiety and depression in functional dyspepsia?
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a probiotic called Bacillus coagulans can help reduce anxiety and depression in people with functional dyspepsia, a condition that causes stomach pain or discomfort without a clear physical cause. You may qualify if you have mild to moderate anxiety or depression alongside your stomach symptoms.
