AIM: To investigate fiber and prebiotic supplementation of enteral nutrition (EN) for diarrhea,
fecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE …

Background & aims Patients with diarrhoea during enteral nutrition (EN) have been shown
to have low faecal bifidobacteria concentrations. Oligofructose/inulin selectively stimulate …

Background: Prebiotics potentially increase the growth of bifidobacteria, which may
minimise the risk of diarrhoea in patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN). The present study …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the tolerance and safety of an enteral
formula containing prebiotics/probiotics, and its effect on the faecal microbiota in critically ill …

AIM: To determine tolerance to fiber supplementation of semi-elemental tube feeds in
critically ill patients and measure its effect on colonic microbiota and fermentation …

The gut microbiota of critically ill patients becomes disrupted during the intensive care unit
admission, which has been linked to worse patient outcomes. Diet plays an important role in …

Background: Sepsis promotes severe physiologic alterations in patients, and it has been
reported to induce profound changes in the gut microbial composition. The decrease of …

Purpose The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of pre-, pro-, and
synbiotics on feeding tolerance of enterally fed critically ill adult patients. Methods MEDLINE …
