about factors that can
lead to an unbalanced microbiota and will address the consequences of a
disturbed microbiota, as well as the way in which diet and nutrition
can help (including the use of probiotics and prebiotics). A prospective

the
Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit in Miami, Florida, USA, on
March 8 and9, 2014. The meeting is hosted by the Gut Microbiota &
Health Section of the European Society of Neurogastroenterology and
