E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective is to verify the ability of the probiotic i3.1 to reduce SIBO (determined through exhaled gas) in IBS patients and how the effect correlates with the symptomatic amelioration. |
El objetivo principal es verificar la capacidad del probiótico i3.1 para reducir el SIBO (determinado a partir de los niveles de gases exhalados de origen bacteriano) en pacientes con SII, y la correlación de dicho efecto con la mejoría sintomática del SII. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Study the effect of the probiotic in the intestinal microbiota at compositional taxonomical level and in specific intestinal anxiety. Besides, the efficacy of both treatments will be compared. |
Como objetivos secundarios se estudiará el efecto del probiótico en la microbiota intestinal a nivel composicional taxonómico y en la ansiedad específica gastrointestinal. Además, se comparará la eficacia del tratamiento entre los dos grupos de estudio. |
