Probiotic drink offers hope for coeliac sufferers with persistent gut pain
NCT ID NCT07360106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily probiotic drink called Symprove can relieve ongoing gut symptoms like bloating, pain, and diarrhoea in adults with coeliac disease who already follow a strict gluten-free diet. About 24 participants will take the probiotic and report symptom changes over time. The goal is to see if restoring gut bacteria balance can improve quality of life without medication.
