Study Summary

Probiotics are over-the-counter dietary products with microorganisms that are generally consumed for health benefit. However, the durability of these microorganisms is unclear, particularly when they pass through the highly acidic environment of the stomach. We will test the colonization of these microorganisms among individuals who consume probiotics with and without acid suppression therapy.

Primary Outcome

Relative abundance is reported as the percent of combined VSL #3 probiotic bacteria strains in the bacteria sample (S. thermophiles, B. breve, B. longum, B. infantis, L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. paracasei, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) following their ingestion in the presence or absence of the gastric acid suppression drug omeprazole. Stool samples were assessed.
