Enzyme supplement may ease IBS symptoms, study suggests
A study found that an oral enzyme supplement appeared to reduce IBS symptom severity in adults.
The study included more than 400 patients taking an enzyme blend designed to target FODMAPs.
IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, is the condition studied, and FODMAPs are short for fermentable carbohydrates.
The research was prospective and single-arm, meaning it followed participants but had no separate comparison group.
That means the findings suggest a possible benefit but do not establish that the supplement caused the improvement.
The information available does not say what happens next.
