Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Left Colon Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF)Day 6 after each treatment period

On Day 6 of each treatment period; 1 hour after dosing, subjects underwent a flexible sigmoidoscopy with Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) to measure Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF). There were no pre-treatment LDF procedure, MBF was compared between the Healthy volunteers and D-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cohorts using the flow rates from the placebo treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rectal Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF)Day 6 after each treatment period

On Day 6 of each treatment period approximately 1 hour after dosing, subjects underwent a flexible sigmoidoscopy with Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) to measure Mucosal Blood Flow (MBF). There was no pre-treatment LDF procedure, MBF was compared between the Healthy and d-IBS cohorts using the flow rates from the placebo treatment period.
