Date: September 9, 2013 - 10:00a.m. ET
Speaker: Patricia Hibberd, M.D., Ph.D.
Patricia Hibberd, M.D., Ph.D., is a practicing infectious diseases physician and researcher, and is focusing on ways in which probiotics may be able to prevent and treat infectious disease.
Although a wide range of probiotics are consumed by millions of people on a daily basis for boosting general health and well-being, there is little information about the safety and efficacy of these products to prevent or treat illness. This talk will focus on research around four clinical trials that utilized the probiotic Lactobacillus GG (LGG) to address safety. Findings show that although some mild gastrointestinal side effects are more common in subjects receiving probiotics than placebo, almost all side effects are mild and are not likely related to consuming probiotics.
