2. With the diagnosis of IBS-C.

3. Prior gastrointestinal disease, surgery, or abdominal or pelvic radiation treatment which, in the Investigator's opinion, would lead to intestinal structuring or obstruction with a risk of capsule non-excretion, including, e.g., achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis, any IBD, or previous esophageal, gastric, small intestinal, or colonic surgery. Appendectomy or cholecystectomy more than 3 months before the screening visit is acceptable.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are allowed provided a wash-out period of 48 hours is respected before swallowing the SIMBA capsules and PPI treatment is resumed only 4 hours thereafter.

10. Celiac disease (treated or untreated).

11. Any significant heart, liver, lung, kidney, blood, endocrine or nervous system disease, which in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely affect study safety or outcome.

13. Gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, microscopic colitis.

14. Participants with IBS presenting with alarm symptoms such as: rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, iron deficiency anemia, and nocturnal symptoms,

16. Epilepsy diagnosis.

17. History or diagnosis of immunological diseases, infectious diseases or immune-compromised conditions, which in the opinion of the investigator, would adversely affect study safety or outcome. Such as, but not limited to, hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV positive, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, lymphoma, and long-term corticosteroid treatment.

18. History of oropharyngeal dysphagia, or other swallowing disorder with a risk of capsule aspiration.
