Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Stool Form

    Change in stool form from baseline, as determined from stool diary data comparing Rifaximin alone vs rifaximin and NAC The Bristol Stool Chart, the minimum value is 1 (means constipation) and maximum value is 7 (means diarrhea). The change between two time points is reported baseline and 4 weeks after cessation of treatment (at 6 weeks)

    value at 6 weeks minus value at baseline

  • Change in Abdominal Pain

    Change in severity of abdominal pain from baseline, as determined from weekly average visual analog scale (VAS) scores, relative to Rifaximin alone. VAS scores allows subject to choose 0 for "no pain" to 100 "pain as bad as it could possibly be". The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 "no pain" and 100 "pain as bad as it could possibly be" The change between two time points is reported baseline and 4 weeks after cessation of treatment (at 6 weeks)

    value at 6 weeks minus value at baseline

  • Change in Stool Frequency

    Change in stool frequency from baseline, as determined from diary data comparing Rifaximin alone vs Rifaximin and NAC determined from daily stool diary data The change in bowel movements/day between two time points is reported baseline and 4 weeks after cessation of treatment (at 6 weeks)

    value at 6 weeks minus value at baseline

  • An intrauterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year.
  • Abstinence or partner(s) with a vasectomy may be considered an acceptable method of contraception at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Female subjects who have been surgically sterilized (e.g. hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation) or who are postmenopausal (total cessation of menses for \>1 year) will not be considered "females of childbearing potential".

You may not qualify if:

  • Use of any oral antibiotics in the last two months
  • Subjects with history of intestinal surgery (except appendectomy or cholecystectomy)
  • Subjects with known pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Pregnancy
  • Nursing mothers
  • Poorly controlled/uncontrolled significant medical condition that would interfere with study procedures
