    1. Abdominal pain response: decrease in weekly average of worst abdominal pain score in the past 24 hours of at least 30% compared with baseline;
    2. Stool consistency response: decrease of at least 50% in the number of days per week with at least one stool that has a consistency of Type 6 or 7 compared with baseline.

    Measured: 8 week
