Brief summary

The aim of this study is to assess the behavior of a model probiotic strain, Lactobacillus salivarius, in the digestive tract of healthy volunteers and of ileostomized patients, depending on its galenic form. Two classic forms will be tested (powder and pill). An innovative galenic form (pill with retarded release), developed to enhance intestinal viability and probiotic efficacy, will also be tested.

Detailed description

Probiotic survival in the stomach and in stools will be assessed on 9 healthy volunteers. It will be evaluated in the stomach after one unique probiotic intake. Gastric content will be collected at different times, up until an hour after probiotic ingestion. Fecal probiotic survival will be evaluated after a 7-day period of probiotic intake. Initial stool collection, before first probiotic intake, will be used as control. Stools will be collected after 7 days of treatment (D8) and 3 days after last intake (D10). Probiotic survival in the small intestine will be assessed on 9 patients with stable medical condition that either have a terminal or preterminal ileostomy. It will be evaluated after one unique probiotic intake. Ileal content will then be collected within 4 hours after intake. Probiotic survival will be evaluated in the stomach, small intestine and in stools by qPCR and determination of CFU. Microbiota composition will be determined by pyrosequencing on ileal and fecal samplings. Finally, metabolic activity will be determined by chromatography with a short chain fatty acid dosage. Healthy volunteers will test each of the 3 galenic forms of Lactobacillus salivarius on 3 periods of 7 days. Each period will be separated from another with a 14-day wash-out period at least. Ileostomized patients will only take a unique dose of each probiotic. Each intake of a different probiotic will be separated from another by a 14-day wash-out period at least.

Inclusion criteria

For the healthy volunteer group : * age between 18 and 65 years old * without previous digestive pathology that could have modified probiotic survival either by the disease itself or by its treatments (IBD, cholestatic disease, pancreatic insufficiency) * without previous digestive surgery (except from appendectomy) * ability to sign written informed consent * health insurance For the patients with a ostomy pouch : * Age between 18 and 65 years old * Terminal or preterminal (less than 30 cm of resected ileon) ileostomy performed more than 2 months ago with a stabilized digestive situation and a healthy residual intestine. * Without other digestive resection (gall bladder, stomach, pancreas) * Healthy and diversified diet * Health insurance

Exclusion criteria

for both groups : * Acute disease, digestive in particular * Intake of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 3 months * Intake of probiotics and symbiotic within the month before inclusion, either in a food supplement form (Lactibiane, Probiolog, Bacilor, Ergyphyllus, Bion3,) or as a milk product (Actimel, Activia, LC1) * Intake of an antacid or gastric antisecretory (anti-H2, proton pump inhibitor) the week before study * Intake of gastric emptying modificators and drugs that could slow down bowel movement (domperidone, metoclopramide, morphinise, loperamide) within 48 hours before study. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Patient under guardianship or curatorship
