In people with IBS sensitive to galacto-oligosaccharides, alpha-galactosidase with meals reduced overall symptoms and bloating versus placebo.
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in 31 adults with IBS eating high-GOS foods for 3 days. In the 21 GOS-sensitive participants, 300 GALU of enzyme reduced overall symptoms and bloating.
Alpha-galactosidase drops taken with a bean chilli meal reduced the number of flatulence events compared with placebo.
Double-blind crossover trial in 19 people eating meatless chilli with alpha-galactosidase or placebo drops, followed for 6 hours. Flatulence events per hour were significantly lower with the enzyme.
Alpha-galactosidase taken with a bean meal reduced gas production and overall gas-related symptoms in healthy volunteers.
Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 8 healthy volunteers eating 420 g of beans with 300 or 1200 GalU of enzyme. Both doses lowered the total symptom score, and 1200 GalU also reduced breath hydrogen and flatulence.
