A bloated stomach is most often caused by excess or trapped wind, which can happen when consuming foods and drinks which are hard to digest.
However, if you are finding yourself feeling bloated regularly, it could be a sign of IBS.
IBS is a common condition affecting the digestive system. It’s usually a lifelong condition, and there is no cure.
Founded in February 2014, 4D Pharma is a world leader in the development of live biotherapeutics, a novel and emerging class of drugs, defined by the FDA as biological products that contain a live organism, such as a bacteria, that is applicable to the prevention, treatment or cure of a disease. 4D has developed a proprietary platform that rationally identifies novel bacteria that have a precise and evolved therapeutic effect. All of 4D’s live biotherapeutic products are orally delivered single strains of bacteria that are naturally found in the healthy human gut. 4D has completed a phase I study in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and has completed dosing in a phase I study in Paediatric Crohn’s Disease. It currently has a pipeline of 13 pre-clinical programmes, covering disease areas such as cancer, poorly controlled asthma, autoimmune and CNS disease, and plans to commence four additional clinical studies in 2018.
