简要总结
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if probiotics found in yogurt can help to decrease gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in cancer patients. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that help with many of our functions and may help digestive problems. Researchers also want to learn if the bacteria in your stool change as your symptoms change while eating yogurt.
详细描述
Baseline Tests:
If you agree to take part in this study, you will have the following tests and procedures when you enroll:
- The coating on your tongue will be checked. Researchers think that the thickness of the coating on your tongue may be related to the microorganisms in your stomach and/or intestines.
- A stool sample will be collected for bacteria testing.
- You will be asked about your diet and how often you eat yogurt.
- You will wear a monitoring device called a Holter monitor for 20-24 hours to check your nervous system and heart function.
- You will be asked to complete 4 questionnaires about your symptoms in the past 24 hours, your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), your most recent stool, and your quality-of-life. These questionnaires should take about 30 minutes total to complete.
Study Procedures:
One (1) time during Days 3-7 and 1 time during Days 8-12:
