      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization method: Permutation block design or quadruple blocks will be used. We assign different permutations to numbers 1 to 6 in the following order. 1. AABB 2. ABAB 3. ABBA 4. BBAA 5. BABA 6. BAAB Then, using the table of random numbers, we extract the numbers from the table and depending on which one of the numbers 1 to 6 comes, select each of the blocks assigned to these numbers until 11 blocks of quaternary are selected. If the numbers are zero, 7, 8, and 9, we will ignore them and continue this order to provide a complete list for the entire sample size, Blinding description: A gastroenterologist and gastroenterology fellowship select patients eligible to enter the study and willing to participate. The patients will be referred to a trained nurse by introduction letter, who allocate patients to probiotic or placebo groups. The physicians will not be aware of the control and placebo groups. The nurse divide patients based on block randomization, referral time to intervention, and control group.  Patients are not informed that they are in the probiotic or placebo group.  The patients receive a probiotic (intervention group)or two capsules daily, containing 100 mg of carboxymethylcellulose as a placebo, which in appearance, taste, and   
packaging box is similar to Femme Lactate. The data analyzer is also unaware of groups.</study_design>

Intervention 2: Control group: The capsules containing 100 mg of carboxymethylcellulose are used as a placebo, which in appearance, taste, and packaging box is similar to Femme Lactate, which is prepared by Zisttakhmir Co.  Two capsules are given to the control group daily for three months. Patients take their medications routinely during the study.</i_freetext>
