Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for IBS-D: Diagnosis criteria refer to the "2020 Chinese Expert Consensus on Irritable Bowel Syndrome" and the "Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: Rome IV" published by the Rome Foundation in 2016. Symptoms must have been present for at least 6 months prior to diagnosis, with the last 3 months meeting the following diagnostic criteria: (1) Recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, or abdominal discomfort in the past 3 months, occurring at least 1 day per week, accompanied by 2 or more of the following: 1) Related to defecation; 2) Accompanied by changes in bowel frequency; 3) Accompanied by changes in stool consistency (appearance). (2) Exclusion of other organic diseases; (3) Diagnostic criteria for IBS-D subtypes require stool consistency to meet specific standards: more than 1/4 of stools during abnormal bowel movements are of type 6 or 7 on the Bristol Stool Form Scale (mucous or watery stools), and less than 1/4 of stools are of type 1 or 2 (hard or lumpy stools). (4) The Bristol Stool Form Scale categorizes stool shapes into 7 types based on shape and continuity: 1: Pellet-like stools, difficult to pass; 2: Sausage-shaped with cracks on the surface; 3: Sausage-shaped with cracks; 4: Sausage-shaped; 5: Soft, lumpy stools; 6: Fluffy, mushy stools; 7: Watery stools. 2. Patients aged between 18-75 years, with no gender restrictions; 3. Patients sign the "Informed Consent Form" and voluntarily agree to participate in this clinical study.

Endoscopic examination reveals organic diseases in the gastrointestinal tract or systemic diseases affecting gastrointestinal motility (e.g., hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc.); 3. Long-term use of medications that may interfere with gastrointestinal function (including probiotics, laxatives, antidiarrheals, 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, calcium channel blockers, anticholinergics, and antidepressant/anxiolytic drugs, etc.); 4.
