To investigate whether a specifically designed multispecies probiotic mixture (ecologic 825®), as adjuvant therapy, can contribute to an improvement of intestinal permeability, microbiota composition, disease activity and inflammatory markers in…
Primary objective: to study the effect of faecal transplantation in a phase II randomised placebo controlled design on simple clinical colitis activity index (SCCAI) and endoscopic Mayo score. Secondary objective: to study intra individual changes…
Specific research objectives:Investigate the effect of orally administered citrulline at:- Circulation of gastrointestinal (GI) system- The occurrence of GI damage, liver and kidneys- The GIpermeability - Production of amino acids- Endothelial…
We would like to modulate the serotonin system with acute tryptophan depletion (ATD) and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). ATD is based on ingestion of an amino acid drink devoid of the precursor of serotonin and hence caused a decreased serotonin level…
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of probiotics on the sequels of ETEC administration as intestinal permeability, inflammation and clinical signs as total faecal output, relative faecal dry weight and mucin excretion in…
To study effects of AXOS (1) on gut health including among other parameters intestinal transit time, fecal cytotoxicity, pH, inflammatory markers, short-chain fatty acids and microbiota composition), gut permeability and gut functioning (bloating,…
Our primary objective is to compare the clinical outcome (time to and grade of symptom resolution) after 4-week-use of a whey based extensively hydrolysed formula (eHF) versus an amino acid-based formula (AAF) in children with nIgE-CMA. As secondary…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of breads made from well-characterised Bread wheat, Emmer wheat, or Spelt wheat of fully known composition each yeast (study A) or sourdough (study B) fermented on intestinal symptoms…
We aim to perform a proof-of-concept study to assess the effect of ATIs on the intestinal barrier and immune function in healthy volunteers. We hypothesise that the ATIs either directly affect the intestinal barrier function, or indirectly by…
To study the efficacy and safety of FMT augmented by donor selection and repetitive dual route administration.To study microbiota composition, functional and metabolic changes as a result of dietary modulation and FMT.
Primary objective:- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of colonisation with non-toxigenic C. difficile.- To establish the effective protocol to obtain colonisation with non-toxigenic C. difficile in the majority of subjects.Secondary objective…
In the present randomised double blind controlled study, we will study the effects of GOS or FOS vs a placebo on stool consistency. Other parameters to be investigated include stool frequency, stool consistency in number of cases (%), painful…
In the present randomised double blind controlled study, we will study the effects of GOS vs a placebo on stool consistency in children with hard or lumpy stools. Other parameters to be investigated include stool frequency, stool consistency in…
With this study, we hope to decrease recurrent Crohn*s disease.
In this study we would like to investigate whether fecal transplantation, administered through a nasoduodenal tube, from either allogenic or autologous donors, has beneficial efffects on IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain intensity and frequency,…
To evaluate the effect of dietary therapy with a probiotic supplement on the composition of stool microbiome in fatigued IBD patients with quiescent diseaseTo define the effect of dietary therapy with a probiotic supplement on serum inflammatory…
