Herbal formula for overlapping stomach and bowel symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a Chinese herbal formula called Hewei Anchang for people who have both functional dyspepsia (stomach pain or discomfort) and diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The goal is to see if the formula improves symptoms and understand how it works.
