Participant Flow

The study enrolled participants from February 2022 to November 2022. Participants were recruited from the Providence, Rhode Island, area using flyers and online advertising.

Of 32 participants enrolled for initial screening, 16 participants were fully eligible for the study after Visit 1 assessment and initiated the probiotic course. Two participants were lost to follow-up prior to completing the probiotic course. Fourteen participants completed the 30-day follow-up visit.
