Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Presenting IBS with predominant constipation according to the Rome IV criteria from at least 1 year and less than 10 years and without any possible doubt concerning confounding organic lesions (other organic pathologies having been excluded compliantly to the usual recommendations using differential diagnostic of chronic abdominal pain)
  • Rome IV:
  • A) Recurrent abdominal pain, with an average of at least 1 day a week within the last 3 months, and associated with 2 following criteria:
  • Related to defecation,
  • Associated with a change in stool frequency,
  • Associated with a change of the stools appearance.
  • B) Onset of the above symptoms at least 6 months before the diagnostic,
  • C) More than one-fourth (25%) of bowel movements with Bristol stool form types 1 or 2 and less than one-fourth (25%) of bowel movements with Bristol stool form types 6 or 7 (check during the last 14 days using the stools frequency questionnaire associated to the Bristol Stools Scale "BSS"),
  • Score of abdominal pain/discomfort ≥ 2 and \< 6 (using a 0 to 7 Likert point scale; daily average during the last 14 days verified at V1),
  • For non-menopausal women: with the same efficient contraception method since at least 3 months before the start of the study, and accepting to maintain this program over the study (hormonal contraception, intrauterine device or surgical intervention). For menopausal women: with or without Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT in place since less than 3 months before the start of the study are excluded) ,

You may not qualify if:

  • Suffering from gastro-intestinal troubles other than IBS: lactose intolerance, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease (gluten intolerance), symptomatic diverticulosis,
  • Suffering from an immunodeficiency or affected by a severe or progressive disease (cardiac, pukmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, infectious or neoplastic),
  • Suffering from a metabolic trouble affecting the intestinal transit function or the nutrients absorption like diabetes or unbalanced thyroid dysfunction,
  • Currently under symptomatic drug treatment acting on the intestinal sensitivity or motility (laxatives, antispasmodics, anxiolytics, antidepressants, analgesics and NSAIDs are authorized if consumed for more than 3 months with a stable dosage and maintained during the study; opioïds and narcotic analgesics are forbidden), or dietary supplementation which according to the investigator should affect study results or stopped within a too short time window before the V1 randomization visit (less than 4 weeks for oral antibiotics, pre- or probiotics, less than 2 weeks for oral antifungal and anti-diarrheal if gastroenteritis),
  • Refusing to stop the consumption of probiotics, prebiotics, or symbiotics under dietary supplement presentation or "health foods" (i.e. Lactibiane®, BION®, ultra yeast, kefir or food stuffs like ACTIMEL®, ACTIVIA® or other probiotics enriched dairy product etc.),
  • Pregnant or lactating woman or intenting to become pregnant within 3 months ahead,
