Brief Summary: This aim of this study is to evaluate the acute and mid-term effects of A2 milk versus conventional milk on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with constipation-predominant IBS and in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS Moreover the effect of immune and defense markers will be studied
Detailed Description: Irritable bowel syndrome IBS is a prevalent functional bowel disorder in which recurrent abdominal pain is associated with defecation and altered bowel habits Although the pathophysiology is incompletely understood it is generally regarded as a multifactorial disorder involving host factors such as low-grade immune activation altered intestinal barrier function and defense Environmental factors including diet are also suggested to play a role Dairy products such as cows milk are widely produced and an important component of the human diet Cows milk is composed of various macronutrients micronutrients and water Beta-casein is a major protein component of cows milk most cows produce a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein conventional milk whereas some cows produce only A2 beta-casein A2 milk It has been suggested that specific components in cows milk such as A1 beta-casein may trigger gastrointestinal symptoms after intake

The purpose of this randomized double-blind cross-over study performed in Maastricht University Medical Center MUMC is to explore the acute and mid-terms effects of A2 milk versus conventional milk on gastrointestinal symptoms and immune and defense markers in separate groups of patient with constipation-predominant IBS and in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS
