Symbiotic Use in Post-Bariatric Surgery Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this double blind, randomized control trial would be to test the efficacy of a once daily, multi strain symbiotic on gut health changes in weight loss surgery patients by testing stool samples prior to administration and then three months post administration of the symbiotic to monitor any changes in bacteria in the stool samples. Study participants will also complete a survey that evaluates their bowel habits, stool consistency, and gastrointestinal related symptoms.
