Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study assessed the effect of a nutrition support product on quality of life in adults with compromised gut function and malabsorption.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This prospective, non-randomized, open-label study assessed the effect of a nutrition support product on quality of life in adults with compromised gut function and malabsorption. Adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or celiac disease were enrolled in the study and asked to take the study product for 6 weeks. The primary measure of the study was a validated quality of life questionnaire, the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI). Secondary measures included the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), the Celiac Disease Questionnaire (CDQ), and the Digestive Symptom Frequency Questionnaire (DSFQ).
