Synbiotics- is a combination of probiotics and prebiotics.this is composed of live microbial supplements and non digestible sugars that stimulate the growth of those bacteria. The soy phytochemical extract contains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifido bifidum given to the randomize test group 1 casule 3 times a day for 4 days per orem. One capsule of the soy phytochemical extract contains 3.5 billion viable probiotic colony forming bacteria. 1.5 billion Bifido bifidum and 1.65 billion Lactobacillus acidophilus and 100mg prebiotic soluble oligosaccharides and soy phytochemical exract. All patient were put on low fat, lactose free diet, in the entire hospital stay. All results will be collected at the end of the 6 months study period, unmask, tabulated and analyze by the authors.
