An altered balance of the community of microbes that reside in our body, especially within the gut, has been linked to a wide range of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. What evidence-based strategies are currently available for modulating the gut microbiota?
Probiotics and their health benefits are often the subject of both conversations and questions. Today, GMFH’s editorial staff offers you a selection of material developed by the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) to better understand these bacteria.

An abnormal pattern of microbial colonization has been reported in infants born prior to 37 weeks of gestation. New research supports the role of probiotic supplementation in shaping the gut microbiota of preterm infants towards that of their full-term counterparts.
Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common disorders diagnosed by gastroenterologists. Peppermint oil, specific probiotics, psyllium supplementation, first-line IBS dietary advice, and a low FODMAP diet can aid in improving IBS symptoms.
