Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Recovery rate of 13CO2 (carbon dioxide with stable isotope of carbon) [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in nutritional parameters [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
fat soluble vitamins (D and E), retinol-binding protein, albumin, pre-albumin, magesium and calcium will be measured.
- Change in HbA1c [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
- Change in quality of life assessed via a questionnaire Gastrointestinal-Quality of Life Index (GIQL) [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
- Change in clinical global impression of disease symptoms [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
disease symptoms will be rated by the subject according a rating scale
Other Outcome Measures
- vital signs [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
blood pressure and heart rate, body weight and BMI
- routine safety laboratory [from baseline up to the week 12 visit]
Hematology, biochemistry and a urine pregnancy test will be performed
