Probiotics and gut health in children with inflammatory bowel disease
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement can change the gut bacteria in children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will collect stool samples to see if the probiotics help restore healthy gut bacteria and potentially improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
