The Effect of Probiotic Intake on Intestinal Permeability in Healthy Adults

Authors
Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
In this double blind, crossover study participants will take a placebo for 3 weeks each. Gut permeability will be assessed weekly using food‐grade sugar molecules. On the second week, participants will take aspirin, which will make their intestine permeable to the sugars. Participants will be asked to provide urine and stool samples to assess gut permeability and microbial communities. No change in permeability to the small sugar probes is anticipated with the probiotic.
