Lactobacillus Rhanmosus GG(LGG®) Group
Lactobacillus rhanmosus GG(LGG®)(Culturelle) is an over the counter dietary supplement that can help to restore the balance in the gut by promoting colonization to support better digestion and immune health. As such, this dietary supplement is not reviewed and approved by the FDA. This study does not intend to investigate route of administration, dose, patient population, or other factor that significantly increases the risk (or decreases the acceptability of the risk) associated with the use of the dietary supplement. Patients in the treatment group will receive a standard dose of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG capsule following their surgery while in the hospital until discharge.
