- Background Postprandial symptoms presumably related to intestinal gas production are common in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The aim of the study was to assess if oral alpha-galactosidase is superior to placebo in reducing gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and intestinal gas production after ingestion of carbohydrate-rich meals in adult patients with IBS. Methods We studied the effect of 1200 GaIU/meal alpha-galactosidase (Nogasin(R)) or placebo capsules on GI symptoms in patients with IBS after three standardized, meals high in oligosaccharides, in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. The intensity of eight GI symptoms was rated, and breath hydrogen and methane were measured every 30 min during 7.5 h. The severity of GI symptoms the following morning was assessed and compared with baseline.S Key Results Twenty adult patients with IBS (19 females), mean age 49 years (range 22-75 years), were included. All test meals were well tolerated but induced a gradual increase in GI symptom severity. Neither GI symptom ratings over time, nor hydrogen and methane concentrations differed between the days with alpha-galactosidase or placebo. The severity of abdominal pain and bloating was lower the following morning, but with no differences between alpha-galactosidase and placebo. Conclusions & Inferences The use of alpha-galactosidase together with meals high in oligosaccharides was in this pilot study not superior to placebo in reducing postprandial GI symptoms or the concentration of hydrogen and methane in expired air in IBS.
