“…Floch et al [32] reported that for the primary prevention of disease caused by C. difficile in patients treated with antibiotics, probiotics also decrease the incidence of such disease, especially when strains of S. boulardii, and possibly other Lactobacillus, such as GG, are administered. Instead, a recent meta-analysis settled that only four probiotic strains (not including Lactobacillus GG) have been shown to significantly decrease the incidence of diarrhoea induced by C. difficile, such as follows: S. boulardii (2 × 10 10 CFU/day), L. casei DN114001 (probiotic drink twice daily), a mixture of L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum (2 × 10 10 CFU/day), and a mixture of L. acidophilus, L. casei, and L. rhamnosus) [33].…”

“…However, in additional research was described lower improvements in the reduction of disease in association with conventional treatment in patients with UC, and minor to moderate contribution, with the use of probiotic VSL#3, Escherichia coli Nissle, Lactobacillus GG, or milk fermented with bifidobacteria and/or lactobacilli (whether or not compared to placebo or other treatments, such as mesalazine) [38]. In trials with probiotics on remission induction or maintenance in Crohn's disease (using several strains such as Lactobacillus GG, VSL3, L. johnsonii LA1, Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, S. boulardii) have been reported less satisfactory results than in UC [32].…”

The health benefits imparted by probiotics and prebiotics as well as synbiotics have been the subject of extensive research in the past few decades. What is the real role of probiotics strains, prebiotics and synbiotics in influencing a health? To battle the increase in health care costs, in recent years has been developed a preventive approach to medicine with the development of new probiotics and prebiotics or symbiotic products. Many studies suggest that probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics supplementation may be beneficial in prevention and management of nutritional and health. While these studies show promising beneficial effects, the long-term risks or health benefits of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics supplementation are not clear. In this chapter review the literature regarding available information and summarises the current knowledge on the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on human health and explore recent trends and developments in this field.

“…Dasopoulou et al [50] published a study similar to those of Indrio et al [51,52] Vandeplas et al [54] using the same sample size than above assessed the impact of this combination among formula, fermented formula and prebiotic on colic. After 4 weeks of treatment the research group demonstrated a reduced overall incidence of infantile colic in group 3 GOS/FOS +50% FERM, better than in group 1 and 4, suggesting a dose response for the fermented formula.…”

Supplementation of infant formula with ingredients potentially able to manage, in a way positive for the host, the gut microbiota of infants, is nowadays widely used by infant food producers. The impact of this class of compounds, named prebiotics, on gut microbiota composition, was initially measured on the enrichment of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus spp., but the use of culture-independent analytical techniques has allowed to establish that a larger number of intestinal microorganisms are affected by the ingestion of prebiotics. However, despite a relevant number of scientific publications, actually there is no consensus on the amount of prebiotics to be administered daily, the potentially different actions exerted by prebiotics which differ in biochemical structures, as well as the impact of different percentages of the same prebiotics when used in mixtures and/or combination. This paper is aimed to critically review the available data on the use of prebiotics in infant formula, with special attention paid to identify a link between, the dosage used, the mixture composition and the observed outcomes, keeping in mind the influences in nutrition quality and growth influence.

“…Various therapeutic effects have been ascribed to probiotics like Lactobacillus reuteri and other probiotics including correction of functional dysmotility, moderation of inflammation-associated disease states and hypertension [73][74][75][76][77].…”

Current state of the art to treat GMDs is primarily focused at the elimination of underlying trigger factors. Fluid and electrolyte management as well as laxatives and peripherally acting μ-opioid receptor antagonists are the recommended first-line therapies that can be complemented with prokinetics. Acupuncture as well as physical modalities, such as massage or warming of the abdomen, is promising with few side-effects and should be considered as well.
