Note: Patients who are 50 years of age and older must have had a colonoscopy OR a flexible sigmoidoscopy plus a double-contrast barium enema within the past 5 years, which demonstrated no clinically significant findings.

Clinically significant findings may include but are not limited to malignant tumors, multiple (≥3) or advanced adenomas, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, ischaemic colitis, lymphocytic colitis, or collagenous colitis.

Patients must report ≥ 3 days with IBS-related abdominal pain/discomfort plus at least 3 days of 2 or more of the following events during the baseline period:

  1. ≥ 3 bowel movements/day
  2. Bowel urgency

  3. Loose or watery stool

    Exclusion Criteria:

    • Patients who answer "yes" to either or both of the two weekly satisfaction questions during the baseline period. The questions are: (1) Over the past week did you have satisfactory relief of your IBS-related abdominal pain/discomfort? (2) Over the last week did you have satisfactory relief of your overall IBS-D symptoms?
    • Patients with hard or lumpy stools for more than one day during the baseline period
    • Lactose intolerant patients relieved on a lactose free diet
