Changes in the fecal gut microbiome of home healthcare patients with disabilities through consumption of malted rice amazake

Abstract

The consumption of malted rice amazake (MR-Amazake) showed significant changes in the gut microbiome according to principal coordinate analysis in some home healthcare patients with disabilities, including those with severe motor and intellectual disabilities. After discontinuation of intake, the gut microbiome returned to its original state. This is the first pilot study to examine both the changes in the gut microbiome and their sustainability after MR-Amazake intake.
