Onset associated with a change in form or appearance of stool Symptom onset greater than 6 months prior to the diagnosis, with the above criteria fulfilled for the past 3 months. Discomfort means an uncomfortable sensation not described as pain. 4) Patients who have normal general health and normal findings on clinical history, physical examination, blood count, no other abnormal clinical or ultrasonographic findings will be included in this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sensitivity: Sensitivity is defined as (the number of microbes called within normal range by both the standard of care and MicrobioTx)/(number of microbes called within normal range by the standard of care) and Specificity: Specificity is defined as (number of microbes called deficient by both the standard of care and by MicrobioTx)/(number of microbes called deficient by standard of care)Timepoint: The single time point at which the data will be analysed will be 26 weeks from the start of the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Design probiotic formulation to improve gut health in NAFLD patientsTimepoint: The single time point at which the data will be analysed will be 1 year from the start of the study.
