Brief Summary: We are proposing to test the safety of the probiotic VSL3 in a placebo controlled double blind safety study in 30 asthmatic adults This adult safety trial was requested by the FDA IND review of a pediatric asthma protocol

Adults with a doctor diagnosis of persistent asthma will take VSL3 or placebo twice daily for 3 months Data will be collected including age race height and weight present medications past medical history with emphasis on signssymptoms of asthma

On visits to the clinic we will evaluate

Changes in lung function
Intestinal permeability
Intestinal bacteria
Levels of inflammation in the blood
Women will have repeat urine pregnancy testing at each clinic visit
Detailed Description: The monitored parameters that will be assessed at each clinic visit or phone call include

1 the number of days with asthma related symptoms of cough wheeze dyspnea awakening at night and exercise limitation
2 the number of asthma-related missed schoolwork days
3 the amount of use of asthma rescue medications
4 use of non-inhaled steroids
5 change in medications from baseline visit
6 diarrhealiquid stools 2day
7 constipation
8 gasbloating
9 feverchills
10 scheduled or unscheduled visits for health care

To monitor for increased risk of safety concerns we will also inquire on follow up visits and phone calls about the following

1 household member with immunosuppression such as HIV or chemotherapy

On visits to the clinic we will evaluate lung function by spirometry

1 change in lung function with spirometry
2 women of childbearing potential will have repeat urine pregnancy testing at each clinic visit
3 intestinal barrier function
4 intestinal flora
5 serum inflammatory cytokines and IgE
