very interesting trial since Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy is present not only in cirrhosis but also on much less damaged liver
so for those under ntz as antiviral to clear hbv the association of Lactobacillus Reuteri and other probiotics is probably very good to lessen oxidative stress on the liver and help lessen or reduce fibrosis.
at the moment i am using the following probiotics:
Enterogermina: spores of bacillus clausii (antibiotic resistant probiotic)
VSL3: lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, streptococcus thermofilus,b.lonum,b.breve,b.infantis,lactobacillus acidophilus,lactobacillus plantarum, paracasei, delbrueckii, bulgaricus
