      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, we will use stratified blocked randomization for random allocation. Body mass index (BMI) is considered as a classifier variable. By using the site www.sealdenvelope.com and the classifier variable (BMI) and selecting blocks of 6 on the site, a random sequence will be generated. The mentioned sequences are placed in opaque, numbered and sealed envelopes or SNOSE by the research associate. Upon entering each patient, after obtaining informed consent and checking the inclusion and non-inclusion and exclusion criteria, the first envelope is opened and the patient is assigned to one of the 3 relevant groups. In the same way, the randomization process will continue until the last patient.
In order to apply concealment allocation in the random allocation process, unique codes will be used on medicine containers. So that the desired code is also generated by the online website.
As each person enters the study based on the generated sequence, the medicine container in which the desired code is recorded is assigned to the person and therefore, before choosing the person, no one is aware of the type of treatment he/ she  will receive. Medicine containers are also non-transparent closed lids and capsules will be the same in terms of quantity, color, taste and smell, Blinding description: This study is not blinded in terms of diet but will be blinded in terms of supplements. The probiotic supplement and its placebo will be produced by PARSILACT Company. All probiotic and its placebo supplements will provided by PARSILACT Company in prepacked pharmaceutical polyethylene bottle  numbered for each patient according to the randomization sequence. The probiotic supplement and its placebo will be in the same form package. The researcher and patients will not be aware of the pharmaceutical polyethylene bottle's content until the end of the trial.</study_design>
