    Author: Pecorella G, Vasquez E, Gismondo MR, Lo Bue AM, Chisari G.
    Journal: Clin Ter; 1992 Jan; 140(1):3-10. PubMed ID: 1526095.
    Abstract:
    The authors have tested the therapeutic efficacy of a multibacterial combination consisting of Lactobacillus acidophilus (10(9)) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (10(9)) in elderly patients with bowel disorders. Bacteriological and histopathologic investigation showed this combination to yield excellent biologic results with restoration of duodenal bacterial flora and subsidence of clinical symptoms. The function of the muciparous glands was restored and the duodenal mucosa was normalized.
