Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10-15% of the global population and contributes to an estimated $21 billion in direct medical costs and productivity losses annually. Despite being the seventh most common diagnosis among all physicians, effective treatment solutions have been elusive for most sufferers. The complexity of IBS and the limited therapeutic efficacy of current treatments underlines the critical need for innovative solutions like inFoods IBS.

The inFoods IBS product has undergone rigorous testing in a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled endpoint study conducted at prestigious institutions including the Mayo Clinic, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital), Houston Methodist Hospital, and the University of Michigan. The study results revealed a significant improvement in Abdominal Pain Intensity scores (trial participants with >30% reduction in pain) for IBS patients in the treatment diet arm compared to those in the placebo diet arm (p-value of 0.0246). Notably, this study found that the majority of IBS patients experienced remarkable relief with inFoods IBS.
