HC healthy controls, D-IBS diarrhoea-predominant IBS patients, CD celiac disease patients. Continuous data are expressed as Mean ± SD, and discrete data are expressed as Median and range. All data were analysed by Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s post-test. Different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05)
