      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: This study is performed in two parts. In the first part, the studied drug (probiotic or placebo) along with polyethylene glycol is given to patients (as standard treatment) for 28 days, and in the second part, the polyethylene glycol drug is discontinued and only probiotic or placebo is given to the patient for 28 days, Randomization description: After receiving the drug and placebo packages from Farabiotic Company, 160 codes were randomly distributed between the boxes by the epidemiologist. Only the epidemiologist is aware of the type of codes and the drugs were delivered to a specialist after randomization to reach the relevant patients.
Randomization was simple and individual, Blinding description: This study is performed in a double-blind manner so that neither the physician nor the patients are aware of the contents of the sachets received by the patients based on the presence of probiotics or placebo. One group contains Lactobacillus reuteri and the other placebo and the doctor randomly give the patient a packet of the drug group. Finally, the results are reviewed and evaluated by the study evaluator by reviewing the collected data and equivalence with the package codes.</study_design>
