“The probiotic group received the multispecies probiotic formulation containing 3g of Bifidobacterium bifidum W23, Bifidobacterium lactis W51, Enterococcus faecium W54, Lactobacillus acidophilus W37, Lactobacillus rhamnosus WGG, Lactococcus lactis W19 at a concentration of 3x109 cfu/g in a matrix of rice starch, maltodextrin, hydrolyzed rice protein, potassium chloride, manganese sulfate and magnesium sulfate (OMNi BiOTiC® Colonize) twice daily over 30 days.”
A correction has been made to Discussion, paragraph 10. The sentence previously stated:
“In conclusion we demonstrated in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study conducted in a homogenous population undergoing screening colonoscopy that the application of a multispecies probiotic at a concentration of 2x109 cfu/g with 6 g per day starting right after colonoscopy, ameliorates side effects of colonoscopy induced constipation significantly.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“In conclusion we demonstrated in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study conducted in a homogenous population undergoing screening colonoscopy that the application of a multispecies probiotic at a concentration of 3x109 cfu/g with 6 g per day starting right after colonoscopy, ameliorates side effects of colonoscopy induced constipation significantly.”
