A number of studies cited in this paper assessed a probiotic formulation previously known as VSL#3. The probiotic formulation that was assessed in these studies is now known by the generic name 'De Simone Formulation'. The current product known as VSL#3 is not the same formulation as the De Simone Formulation. The De Simone Formulation is available under the brand names Visbiome (USA) and Vivomixx (Europe). doi: 10.1136/flgastro-2018–1 00 617
