In the intervention group, results showed a near-significant difference between group means for change in total IBS-SSS score ( p = 0.052), and significant differences for ‘Diarrhea’ ( p < 0.001), ‘Constipation’ ( p < 0.001), ‘Bloating and flatulence’ ( p = 0.03) and ‘Intestinal symptom’s influence on daily life’ ( p = 0.038).
