Most drugs have adverse effects  to relieve flatulence.So this study aimed to investigate the effect of synbiotic supplement on stroke patients; was performed.

They were randomly divided into two groups: control (n = 32) and intervention  (n = 33) and the size of their abdominal circumference were measured before the study. The intervention group, in addition to routine treatment, for a week, every 12 hours, recived fermented prbiotic supplement Zhari Takhmir and the control group was given only a laxative( MOM = 15cc) prescribed by a doctor. In the end, abdominal circumference in all patients were evaluated again. Data using analysis of covariance model, were analyzed .

Results: After a week, abdominal circumference measurements in two groups showed that; in the intervention group on average waist size of 6.1 inches had reduced compared to baseline( p=0.028). But the changes were not significant in the control group.
