Severity of bowel symptoms according to the Francis Score
The severity of bowel symptoms is evaluated with a quality of life questionnaire, the Francis Score before and after 6 weeks of complementation in placebo and verum groups.
Time frame: After 6 weeks of complementation
Quality of life
Effect of the intervention on transit and abdominal pain
Time frame: after 6 weeks of complementation
Severity of Anxiety/Depression
The level of anxiety/depression will be measured with the HAD scale
Time frame: after 6 weeks of complementation
Impact of the complementation on fatigue
The level of fatigue will be measured with the score to the fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)
Time frame: after 6 weeks of complementation
Impact of the intervention on immunological parameters in stools
The effects of the intervention on immunological parameters in stools will be evaluated via the levels of beta-defensine 2 and sérine protease activities
Time frame: after 6 weeks of complementation
Impact of the intervention on immunological parameters in blood
The impact of the intervention on immunological parameters in blood will be measured with levels of endotoxines, ultrasensitive protein C Reactive and cytokines
Time frame: after 6 weeks of complementation
Severity of bowel symptoms according to the Francis Score
