Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effects of combination probiotic, prebiotic, and enzyme supplementation on the colonic microbiome of individuals with GI symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, constipation, increased gas). Half of the participants will receive the placebo while the other half will receive the supplement for 28 days.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this research is to identify if there is a relationship between GlutenShield, a combination prebiotic, probiotic, and enzyme supplement, and the gut environment.

The study will be a split, 28-day randomized, partially blinded design. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will complete a 28-day treatment period with GlutenShield taken 3x/day with meals. The other group will complete a 28-day placebo period with the placebo taken 3x/day with meals. The placebo will contain Avicel (cellulose) and bentonite powder (to have a similar color as GlutenShield). Participants will be blinded to which group/ treatment they are being given. Serum and fecal samples will be collected at baseline and on day 29. Participants will also complete a gastrointestinal symptoms questionnaire, a food frequency questionnaire and a psychosocial measures of self questionnaire. ;
