Text: At the end of the intervention, there were no significant differences in the concentrations of bifidobacteria between the groups, after adjusting for baseline values (oligofructose/inulin 6. 9 +1. 4, placebo 7. 8 +1. 3 log10cells/g dry faeces, P > 0. 05), but there were significantly lower concentrations of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (7. 0 +1. 0 vs. 8. 4 +1. 3 log10cells/g, P = 0. 01) and Bacteroides-Prevotella (9. 1 +1. 0 vs. 9. 9 +0. 9 log10cells/g, P = 0. 05) in patients receiving additional oligofructose/inulin.
