Core Tip	Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic debilitating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Current therapies are not effective in a great proportion of patients and are associated with serious adverse effects. The use of probiotics has been tried as an alternative and safe treatment. Herein, we review the pathophysiological basis for such an application and summarize the data from the major clinical trials.
