- •Subjects with psychological symptoms in the absence of a psychiatric diagnosis, defined as a score of 5 to 13 in the depression domain and/or a score of 4 to 9 in the anxiety domain of the DASS-21 questionnaire.
排除标准
- •Concurrent formal diagnosis by a psychiatric specialist, including any mood or anxiety disorder, according to the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th or 5th edition.

- •Subjects who are on daily treatment with therapeutic doses of drugs having central nervous system effects, including antidepressants and/ or anxiolytics. Low doses of (I) tricyclic antidepressants for abdominal pain/diarrhea related to IBS and (II) anxiolytics used as sleeping pills will be permitted if dose is stable > 3 months prior to the date of randomization.
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- •Subjects with dementia or other cognitive impairment.
- •Subjects who received antibiotics within the 4 weeks prior to the date of randomization .
- •Known or suspected allergies to the study products.

- •Consumption of any probiotic supplements specified as containing Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, Streptococcus, Bacillus coagulans, and Saccharomyces at least 2 weeks prior to the date of randomization.
- •Subjects on regular use of drugs to control IBS symptoms such as bile acid binders (cholestyramine, colestipol or colesevelam, rifaximin, alosetron, lubiprostone, eluxadoline and linaclotide).
- •Recently initiated exclusion diets. Subjects on stable exclusion diets (> 3 months prior to the date of randomization) will not be excluded. This includes subjects with the following diets: gluten-free, lactose-free, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, and low-carbohydrate.

结局指标
主要结局
To evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterium Longum (BL NCC3001) on Gastrointestinal Symptoms
时间窗: Baseline to 6 weeks.
Change from baseline to week 6 in Irritable Bowel Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), a questionnaire that includes 5 questions related to the severity of abdominal pain, frequency of abdominal pain, severity of abdominal distention, dissatisfaction with bowel habits, and interference with quality of life over the past 10 days. This cumulative score can therefore range from 0 to 500, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
To evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterium Longum (BL NCC3001) on Psychological Symptoms
时间窗: Baseline to 6 weeks.
Change from baseline to week 6 in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-Total) score, a 14-item scale assessing two dimensions (anxiety and depression, 7 items for each) of psychological distress. Each item is scored from 0-3 in a Likert manner. Outcome measures are the anxiety score (0-21), depression score (0-21) and the total score (0-42).
