Read the detailed description

Screening period:

After signing the Informed Consent Form, subjects entered a 14-day screening period to evaluate inclusion/exclusion criteria and collect demographic information, medical history, etc. Subject's previous medication should be eluted and concomitant medications should be prohibited.

    Time frame: 2 week

  2. Change from baseline to Week 2 in Bristol(type 1 to type 7,higher type means worse)stool scale.

    Efficacy is defined as ≥ 50% reduction in the number of days with at least one stool that has a consistency of Bristol stool scale of 6 or 7 for at least 50% of the treatment period.

    Time frame: 2 week

Secondary outcomes

  1. Improvement degree of abdominal pain and abnormal defecation (%)

    abdominal pain (0-100%,higher degree means better) and abnormal defecation (0-100%,0-100%,higher degree means better)

    Time frame: 2 week

  2. Abdominal pain score and days of abdominal pain remission

    will be collected from Record of severity of IBS symptoms which included the severity of abdominal pain(from 0 to 100%,higher degree means worse) and the day of abdominal pain in the past 10 days

    Time frame: 2 week

  3. Changes in defecation frequency

    will be collected from Record of defecation frequency

    Time frame: 2 week

  4. Changes in and abdominal distension

    will be collected from Record of severity of IBS symptoms which included abdominal distension(0-10, higher degree means worse)

    Time frame: 2 week

  5. Subject's subjective response

    will be collected from Record of severity of IBS symptoms which included the subject's satisfacation degree of his defecation habbit(0-100%) and the influence of the IBS symptoms in his life(0-100%)

    Time frame: 2 week

  6. Detection of intestinal flora

    Macrogenomic detection to detect the change of intestinal flora

    Time frame: 2 week

  7. defecation urgency

    will be collected from Record of severity of IBS symptoms which included the defecation urgency(0-10) of the past 10 days
