Table 1 shown are average scores (M) of reported digestive symptoms and their standard deviations (SD), with scores ranging from 0–3 (none to worst). A decrease in the average score corresponds with an improvement in that parameter. Percent (%) change is the change from baseline values. Any p-value bolded and in a grey box reflects a statistically significant change (p < 0.05) at indicated time points compared to baseline.
