Measure
Placebo Group
In this intervention arm Placebo arm received three oral viable capsules daily, containing polysaccharides, without any viable probiotics matching the probiotic capsules in appearance, smell, and taste. Placebos: The Placebos will be coded in a specific label by a researcher who will not be in contact with the participants and administrated randomly based on gender in a double-blind manner. The patient will receive 2 bottles of the placebo every 2 weeks and will be followed weekly for 6 weeks.
Probiotic Group
In this intervention arm, the patients will receive oral viable capsules of probiotic contain (1\*10 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/g) of lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus , Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus plantarum) and bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis) species three times a per day Probiotic Formula Capsule: The Probiotic will be coded in a specific label by a researcher who will not be in contact with the participants and administrated randomly based on gender in a double-blind manner. The patient will receive 2 bottles of the drug every 2 weeks and will be followed weekly for 6 weeks.

The average score of the general quality of life (QoL) subscales was assessed by the Short Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). The SIBDQ contains 10 questions for 4 functional scales (Bowel, Systemic, emotional, and social). For each question, there a regraded responses on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from one (representing the ''worst'' aspect) to seven (representing the ''best'' aspect). Total SIBDQ scores range from 10 to 70.Higher scores reflect better well-being.
