Detailed Description
The research question focuses on the ability of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri Gastrus (combination of L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 from the BioGaia® company) to reduce CLD toxicity in subjects exposed to this pesticide. In particular, the investigators are interested in whether the oral prescription of Limosilactobacillus reuteri reduces plasma levels of CLD by increasing the fecal excretion of the deconjugated form of CLD. This research hypothesis is based on the presence of a hydrolase activity (glucuronidase) in Limosilactobacillus reuteri that allows the deconjugation of glucuronide derivatives (De Boever et al 2000; Cardona et al. 2002; Martoni et al 2008). Limosilactobacillus reuteri is the probiotic with the highest hydrolase activity. The combination of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 (BioGaia® Gastrus) is currently the best possible formulation for optimal hydrolase activity (unpublished data from BioGaia® laboratory). The investigators also hypothesize that the increase in CLD elimination by the digestive tract through the use of Limosilactobacillus reuteri avoids the appearance of side effects encountered during the prolonged use of classical bile salt sequestrants (e.g. QUESTAN).
The effects of oral prescription of Limosilactobacillus reuteri on plasma levels and faecal concentrations of CLD will be compared with a control group under placebo.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Control group
The control group will receive daily a placebo capsule per os at mealtime (just before or after) for a period of 6 months
|
The placebo capsules have the same external appearance and composition as the BioGaia® Gastrus Limosilactobacillus reuteri probiotic capsule (combination of L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475), but without the active ingredient.
|
Experimental: Experimental group
The experimental group will receive daily per os one capsule of BioGaia® Gastrus probiotic (combination of L. reuteri DSM 17938 and L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475) dosed at 108 colony forming units (CFU)/day (distributed by the laboratory PEDIACT France), taken at mealtime (just before or after) for a period of 6 months
|
The BioGaia® Gastrus probiotic capsule contains the following components: L. reuteri DSM 17938, L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475) at 10^8 CFU*/day, fully hydrogenated palm oil; ascorbic acid; tangerine flavour and mint flavour. *Colony forming Unit

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Chlordeconemia
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Chlordeconemia measured by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique expressed in μg/L (analytical detection limit LDD of 0.05 μg/L - quantification limit LDQ of 0.1 μg/L) The relative change in chlordeconemia between T0 and T6 months will be compared between the group of patients treated with the BioGaia® Gastrus probiotic and the group of patients treated with placebo. This relative variation will be calculated as the ratio of the difference in chlordeconemia T0 -T6mois to the initial chlordeconemia at T0. |
