A member asked:
Could pre-biotics and probiotics help with inflammatory bowel disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: There is decent evidence that probiotics can help with ulcerative colitis and excellent evidence that it can help with patients after colectomy when they only have a surgical pouch left over. In Crohn's disease, the data do not support their use.
