Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess whether morning bright light therapy using a wearable glasses device called a Re-Timer could potentially improve Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms and decrease intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Morning bright therapy will be administrated through a safe-wearable device called a Re-Timer. The Re-Timer glasses are lightweight and deliver blue-green light at 500nm, mimicking exposure to natural light.
