Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in abdominal pain scores	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for abdominal pain. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.	Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary	Overall PAGI-SYM scores	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire. All symptoms scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms. A total PAGI-SYM score is determined by calculating the average of all symptom scores	Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change in nausea/vomiting	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for nausea/vomiting. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.	Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change in bloating	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for bloating. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.	Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change in post-prandial fullness	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for early satiety/postprandial fullness. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.	Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change in heartburn	Measured by the Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) questionnaire individual scores for heartburn. Scored 0-5, with higher scores representing more severe symptoms.	Baseline, 8 weeks
