Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 17 November 2010 in the House of Lords, by Earl Howe (Conservative).
NHS: Prebiotics
- Answer
-
There is currently insufficient evidence to show that prebiotics offer benefits in a clinical setting to be able to make a general recommendation in relation to prevention of Clostridium difficile infection. Of course, we will keep this issue under review. However, it is important for all patients, including those who have contracted Clostridium difficile infection, to have a well-balanced diet.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 17 November 2010 by Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench).
