This study is exploring if prebiotics (special fibers that feed good gut bacteria) can help people with both Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and cirrhosis (a type of liver damage). Researchers are testing two dietary supplements: resistant potato starch (a prebiotic) and powdered cellulose (an active comparator, meaning it's used for comparison). You might be able to join if you are over 18, have a cirrhosis diagnosis, and can take oral medication. The main goal is to see if these supplements change the diversity of gut bacteria after 8 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 30 participants.
