This is an open-label observational crossover trial to study the efficacy of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on common symptoms of IBS (such as bloating, gas, heartburn, and other symptoms).
It is hypothesized that the dietary supplement marketed as "Arrae Bloat" will improve subjective wellbeing in trial participants. It is further hypothesized that a second dietary supplement marketed as "Arrae Calm" will support the effects of "Arrae Bloat", while reducing stress, anxiety and panic and promoting restful sleep and easing tension in the body, which has previously been reported in customer feedback studies.
