Filter by:In this study, the investigators aim to assess that infants with mild symptoms have significantly less (severe) symptoms after 14 days goat milk-based formula use compared to infants using cow's milk-based formula supplemented with probiotic drops.
Cow's milk contains two types of β-casein: A1 and A2. The μ-opioid peptide BCM-7 is released from A1 but not from A2. BCM-7 is associated with slower gastrointestinal transit and hence increased gastrointestinal transit times. Lactose maldigesters reported an increase in abdominal pain due to consumption of milk containing A1 beta-casein as compared to milk containing only A2 beta-casein. The hypothesis of this study is that the differential abdominal pain is due to the differential gastric transit. This is a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial conducted to determine if the transit of A1 β-casein milk is modified in the stomach as compared to milk with only A2 β-casein.
Lactose intolerance is a chronic disease caused by the total/partial lack of lactase production. When lactose is not properly digest, it is consumed by the microbiota. This situation presents different gastrointestinal symptoms such as meteorism, pain, bloating, diarrhoea and nausea. The dietetic treatment for this patients consists of avoiding lactose-rich foods, mainly milk and dairy products. However, nowadays exists a large diversity of lactose-free products specially focused on lactose intolerants. In this context, using B.coagulans as a probiotic in a food matrix could be an alternative for these patients, since its ability of spore forming and the production of beta-galactosidase. Based on the foregoing, the group research has design a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover nutritional clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a regular probiotic with high production of beta-galactosidase effect over gastrointestinal syntoms of patients with lactose intolerance.
The goal of this study is to assess the performance of the Vivante Health GIMate Breathalyzer device in diagnosing lactose malabsorption.
This randomized study evaluates the usefulness of the I31 probiotic formula, against placebo, in the treatment of symptoms of lactose intolerance.
The purpose of this study is to study the role of the enzyme (substance produced by the body that helps in a biochemical reaction like digestion in the body) responsible for digestion of lactose and the role of the gut bacteria (bacteria in the intestine) in producing symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Study objectives: Primary: Difference in breath hydrogen concentration (BHC, ppm) in lactase and probiotic groups compared to placebo, measured by the incremental area under curve (iAUC) analysis Non-inferiority in breath hydrogen concentration (BHC, ppm) of probiotic group compared to lactase group, measured by the incremental area under curve (iAUC) analysis Secondary: Breath test - Breath hydrogen peak value (ppm) in lactase and probiotic groups compared to placebo - Cumulative breath hydrogen (ppm) in lactase and probiotic groups compared to placebo Acute gastrointestinal symptoms (severity or presence/absence to be defined on a Likert scale) in lactase and probiotic groups compared to placebo - Abdominal pain - Flatulence - Bloating - Nausea and vomiting - Bowel movements and diarrhea (if present, stool consistency to be defined on Bristol stool scale and number of bowel movements to be recorded) Ancillary: - Baseline fasting BHC (ppm) - Breath methane CH4 (ppm) - Breath carbon dioxide CO2 (ppm) - Probiotic identification in feces before each lactose challenge by molecular methods - Gene test to determine lactase deficiency status at screening (following SNP variants to be screened: 13910*C (Europe, Central Asia, commonly used) -22018*G (Europe), -13915*T (Saudi-Arabia, Africa), -14010*G (Africa), -13907*C (Africa))
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study conducted in the United States (US) to assess the efficacy of RP-G28 compared to placebo on symptom reduction related to lactose intolerance.
Randomized, open-label, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study to evaluate the effect of a standard meal on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of orally administered RP-G28.
Bloating, gas, pain and diarrhea are common complaints. Routine investigations are negative; these patients are labeled as IBS. In these patients, whether testing for carbohydrate malabsorption or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is useful is unclear. Investigators aim to assess the prevalence of SIBO, fructose and lactose intolerance, the usefulness of breath tests, and predictive value of pre-test symptoms.
