Clinical Trial Summary

New and effective treatments are needed for patients with post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of glutamine, an abundant amino acid in the body and the principal fuel for enterocytes, in patients who developed diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome with increased intestinal permeability following an enteric infection.


Clinical Trial Description

In a double-blind trial, eligible adults with post-infectious IBS with increased intestinal permeability were randomly assigned to receive either glutamine (5 g three times daily) or placebo for eight weeks. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who had a reduction of ≥50 on the Irritable Bowel Severity Scoring System (IBS-SS). ;
