Primaire uitkomstmaten
50% reduction of incidence of traveller's diaarhoea.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Traveller's diarrhoea occurs in 20 to 50 % of travellers to low or middle income countries. Several areas of the world are known for the high incidence of diarrhoea in visitors. Probiotics have been suggested as a save and effective method to prevent traveller's diarrhoea. So far studies are inconclusive, in part because various probiotics have been used, not always well defined. In this prospective, placebo controlled, double blinded study a well defined, multispecies probiotic product will be used.
Doel van het onderzoek
Use of a well defined probiotic food supplement (Ecologic Travel) will reduce incidence of traveller's diarrhoea.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
