Metataxonomic profiling (16S) of ileostomy samples. The samples were collected for the INSIDE double-blinded, placebo controlled explorative dietary study. The study was aimed to characterize the impact of fermented food may have on the small intestinal microbiota and systematically. Subjects participated in an approximately 100 days long trial with 3 intervention periods.27 ileal effluent samples were collected per subject allowing a longitudinal analysis of the impact that consumpion of milk fermented products may have on the small intestinal microbial composition.

The aim of the study is to determine the small intestinal microbiota response in humans to probiotic supplement interventions for two consecutive weeks, and to relate this to intestinal barrier function and immune and metabolic responses in blood, as functional outcome parameters of host physiology. A small cohort of ileostoma subjects has been recruited to participate in a three-arm intervention trial according to a double blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled design. Two probiotics products and a placebo were administered in random order to each volunteer for two weeks with 2 week wash-out periods in between interventions. The volunteers will participate in this study for approx. 100 days and will, in addition to the three interventions, not consume fermented products.
