More effective treatments are needed for patients with post-infectious, diarrhea-predominant, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). Accordingly, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week-long trial to assess the efficacy and safety of oral glutamine therapy in patients who developed IBS-D with increased intestinal permeability following an enteric infection. Eligible adults were randomized to glutamine (5g/t.i.d.) or placebo for 8 weeks. The primary end point was a reduction of ≥50 points on the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS-SS). Secondary endpoints included: raw IBS-SS scores, changes in daily bowel movement frequency, stool form (Bristol Stool Scale), and intestinal permeability. Fifty-four glutamine and fifty-two placebo subjects completed the 8 week study. The primary endpoint occurred in 43 (79.6%) in the glutamine group and 3 (5.8%) in the placebo group (a 14-fold difference). Glutamine also reduced all secondary endpoint means: IBS-SS score at 8 weeks (301 vs. 181, p<0.0001), daily bowel movement frequency (5.4 vs. 2.9±1.0, p<0.0001), Bristol Stool Scale (6.5 vs. 3.9, p<0.0001) and intestinal permeability (0.11 vs. 0.05; p<0.0001). “Intestinal hyperpermeability” (elevated urinary lactulose/mannitol ratios) was normalized in the glutamine but not the control group. Adverse events and rates of study-drug discontinuation were low and similar in the two groups. No serious adverse events were observed. In IBS-D patients with intestinal hyperpermeability following an enteric infection, oral dietary glutamine supplements dramatically and safely reduced all major IBS-related endpoints. Large RCTs should now be done to validate these findings, assess quality of life benefits, and explore pharmacologic mechanisms.
