Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of PEG 3350 + a diet low in fermentable oligo, di, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) vs. PEG 3350 plus sham diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C).

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with IBS-C, experiencing recurrent abdominal pain and changes in bowel movement frequency or stool form. Participants must not have other conditions affecting the gut, severe kidney or liver disease, recent major surgery (except some minor types), previous low FODMAP diet treatment, certain medication use including for IBS, new antidepressants, or be pregnant.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of two treatments: a combination of PEG 3350 with a Low FODMAP diet versus PEG 3350 with a sham diet that mimics dietary restrictions without reducing essential nutrients. Patients are randomly assigned to one of these diets while physicians analyzing results won't know which group patients are in.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for this trial, generally speaking PEG 3350 can cause bloating, gas, upset stomach and cramping. The Low FODMAP diet may lead to initial hunger or dissatisfaction due to dietary restrictions.
