Placebo and DR7 will be administered via a parallel design

Masking will be subjected to Participant, Care Provider, Investigator

This is a single arm study all subjects will receive the study VSL#3 probiotic. Subjects will take 1 sachet of powder orally daily for 12 weeks

Other: VSL#3® probiotic VSL#3® DS (Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals) is a well characterized water soluble, live (9 × 1011 bacteria/sachet), lyophilized preparation of 8 probiotic bacterium that have been detailed previously. Subjects will take 1 sachet of powder orally daily for 12 weeks. As many Malian homes lack refrigeration, subjects will be issued a special "canari", a commonly used earthenware water container also containing sand that works on the principal of "trans-evaporation" to keep contents at room temperature (~24°C) even in warmer climates. We have verified this in country. Probiotics will be placed in a sealed plastic bag within a sealed jar in the sand of the canari. At the research site, probiotics will be kept refrigerated (4-8°C) in a study provided refrigerator
