This open-label study investigates the effects of lecithin-based formulations of Curcuma longa (Merivaā¢) and Boswellia serrata (Casperomeā¢) extracts on post-acute COVID-19 irritable bowel syndrome (PCIBS) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without prior COVID-19 infection. A total of 44 participants, 16 with PCIBS and 28 controls with IBS, were supplemented for 30 days. Outcomes measured included abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, enteral dysbiosis, and global assessment of efficacy. The study found significant reductions in bloating and pain in both groups, with a notable decrease in dysbiosis only in the IBS group. This suggests potential benefits of the supplementation in managing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with PCIBS and IBS.
