bacteria. The fermented products are then as a food source by bacteria. However, this internal fermentation is not favorable for SIBO patients, as this produces gas and distends intestine with water (25). This is the reason why SIBO patients develop diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. The evidences suggest that limiting FODMAP in the diet helps relieve gastrointestinal symptoms in SIBO and IBS patients (26, 27). Therefore, a low-FODMAP diet is recommended to the patients.…

immune response via these pathways are at greater risk for contracting the disease. The most common symptom of Listeriosis is diarrhea.

These individuals may experience diarrhea for 1-3 days and will recover with supportive care.…

study must have reported the AAD or CDI (or both) as an outcome. Studies investigating probiotics to prevent CDI recurrence in patients with a previous diagnosis of CDI, probiotics to prevent CDI in adult populations, and probiotics used to treat diarrhea from non-antibiotic related causes such as radiation or rotavirus were excluded.

A study conducted by Al Jassim et al. recorded that several species of Lactobacillus were located throughout the equine gastrointestinal tract. This concludes that these microbes have the ability to adapt to pH changes and survive in different environments. L. mucosae and L. salivarius were found to be the most abundant. L. salivarius, specifically, was cultured from the stomach, colon, and rectum, suggesting its…
