Summary

Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common functional gastrointestinal disease and is characterized by high prevalence and chronic course.The pathology has a strong impact on the quality of life of affected patients and on health and social costs, these related to reduced productivity.The scarce efficacy and heavy side effects of traditional therapies lead these patients to often resort to alternative or complementary therapies. From the evaluation of the evidence of various probiotic preparations and food supplements, the investigators have used a commercial preparation characterized by the presence of bifidobacteria which have demonstrated some efficacy in thinking of improving the quality of life of these patients to evaluate quality of life, ability productivity and trend of some indices of disease severity in a small number of patients. These preliminary data could represent a starting point for more in-depth evaluations, also with placebo-controlled studies.
