The two treatment periods of 6 weeks each, with a daily intake of 30 g coarse wheat bran or 30 g placebo bran, respectively, were randomized in a double-blind cross-over design. Wheat bran significantly (P < 0.05) increased the stool weight and shortened the intestinal transit time but was without significant effect on symptoms like abdominal pain, distension, and rumbling. No significant effect on the colonic motility index was shown. We conclude that coarse wheat bran used as the only treatment in IBS does not provide a sufficient effect in a 6-week period. However, wheat bran seems to be justified in the treatment of constipation.",
