Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB) on IBS symptoms as assessed by IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS), when compared to placebo

    The IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) will be used to assess symptom severity. Participants will rate their symptoms over the last 10 days on day 0 and day 42. The change in the average IBS severity score will be calculated and compared to the placebo group.

    Day 0 & Day 42

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • To assess the efficacy of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic on IBS symptoms as assessed by IBS Symptom Severity Scale , when compared to placebo in individuals

    Day 0, Day 21

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB); on IBS symptoms as assessed by IBS-SSS, when compared to baseline in individuals with IBS

    Day 0, Day 21 and Day 42

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB); on Abdominal Pain severity compared to baseline, each other and placebo in individuals with

    Day 0, Day 21 and Day 42

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic on participant by Stool consistency (Bristol Stool Form Scale types 3, 4 & 5)

    Time Frame: Day 0, Day 21 and Day 42

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic on participant by Quality of Life score as assessed by IBS- QoL questionnaire

    day 0, day 21, and day 42

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (4)

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB); on gut microbiome composition compared to baseline, each other and placebo

    day 0 and day 42

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB); on microbiome diversity compared to baseline, each other and placebo

    day 0 and day 42

  • To assess the efficacy of 6 weeks of daily consumption of two different mixes of HMO 2'-O-fucosyllactose (HMO-2FL) + Humiome® Post LB postbiotic (postbiotic-LB); on fecal metabolomics profile compared to baseline, each other and placebo

    day 0 and day 42
