First seen Nov 11, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a dietary supplement called NAC to the standard IBS-D drug rifaximin can better relieve symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea. About 225 adults with diarrhea-predominant IBS will receive either the combination or a placebo. The goal is to see if NAC helps break down mucus in the gut, allowing rifaximin to work more effectively.
