Effects of yogurt and bifidobacteria supplementation on the colonic microbiota in lactose-intolerant subjects

Colonic metabolism of lactose may play a role in lactose intolerance. We investigated whether a 2-week supplementation of Bifidobacterium longum (in capsules) and a yogurt enriched with Bifidobacterium animalis could modify the composition and metabolic activities of the colonic microbiota in 11 Chi...
