Baseline (defined as the most recent 7-day diary record prior to enrollment): The average daily highest abdominal pain score of patients is = 3.0 (11-point NRS score), and fecal characteristics are classified as type 6 or type 7 at least 2 days per week;<br><br>6. Colonoscopy examination reports from domestic tertiary hospitals within two months or three years that are normal, or abnormal results that the researcher deems to have no clinical significance.<br><br>
