Study Summary

The study is proposed as a single-site randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial requiring 4 study visits, where two of the visits are combined with their appointment for routine clinical care. The study population will consist of patients with quiescent CD and UC and IBD-unspecified recruited from the Massachusetts General Hospital Crohn's and Colitis center. All eligible subjects will have a confirmed diagnosis of CD, UC, or IBD-unspecified according to accepted clinical, endoscopic, radiologic, and histologic criteria. Eligible patients will be contacted at the time of their routinely scheduled office visit and consented for the study. Self-report and review of medical records will be used to obtain detailed information regarding their disease on an intake questionnaire completed by a research study coordinator. The study is proposed as a 12-week double-blind randomized controlled trial of the probiotic supplement compared to placebo. We propose to examine the effect of a specific probiotic supplement on the changes in the gut microbiome, serum metabolomic profile, and fatigue symptoms in patients with quiescent IBD. Within 2 weeks of screening, eligible patients will be invited to visit MGH for a baseline visit. The patient will receive either the probiotic supplement or placebo for 4 weeks. The first follow up visit will be at week 4 to check for adverse events on study treatment, to check accountability of probiotics/placebo, and to complete the set of questionnaires. Also, subjects will receive probiotic/placebo samples for the remaining 8 weeks of treatment. At week 8, subjects will receive a phone call from a study research coordinator to check in with probiotics/placebo intake for treatment compliance and accountability records, and to complete the set of questionnaires ascertaining subjective symptoms. Last study visit will be at week 12 which is often combined with a regular office appointment. Subject will provide serum blood and stool sampl
