Abstract

Changes in gut microbiota composition are associated with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel diseases, diarrhoea and hepatic diseases. Probiotics, which are live microorganisms which can provide the host a health benefit when ingested, are widely used as a treatment to treat these gastrointestinal (GI) conditions by changing the microbiota's composition or behaviour. This analysis aimed to address show probiotics' minimal utility for GI conditions guidelines. The researcher used several papers and reviews from before. The findings of this study are a compilation of previous research, and Cochrane's systematic analysis of probiotics for GI disorders indicates that probiotics may have beneficial effects on diarrheal conditions and associated gastrointestinal symptoms. Finally, updated systematic reviews are required to reflect the entirety of existing research on probiotic treatments in the study. The results from the presented analysis would help to provide more reliable guidelines for the clinical use of probiotics' and its limited value for gastrointestinal disorders and recognize gaps in GI related probiotic research.
