weight measurement
Evaluate the impact of UltraFlora Triplebiotic (containing Bifidobacterium Lactis B420 and pasteurized Akkermansia Muciniphila) on weight regain over 3 months after discontinuation of GLP-1.
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks (90 days)
IBS-SSS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Severity Scoring System) questionnaire
Evaluate the impact of UltraFlora Triplebiotic containing Bifidobacterium Lactis B420 and pasteurized Akkermansia Muciniphila on weight regain over 3 months after discontinuation of GLP-1. It is a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 100 that allows the severity of patients' gastrointestinal symptoms to be assessed. The higher the score, the more pain the patient is experiencing.

TFEQ-R18 (Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire - Revised 18 items) Questionnaire
Evaluate the impact of UltraFlora Triplebiotic containing Bifidobacterium Lactis B420 and pasteurized Akkermansia Muciniphila on Hunger, Appetite and Cravings using the TFEQ-R18 Questionnaire over the course of 90 days. The TFEQ-R18 is a psychometric questionnaire that assesses eating behaviors and attitudes toward food. There are three dimensions: CR = conscious restraint, UE = uncontrolled eating, EE = emotional eating. High scores in UE or EE indicate an increased risk of overeating, weight gain, or eating disorders. A high score in CR shows a strong desire to restrict intake, but this is sometimes associated with episodes of disinhibition if the restriction fails.
