    Objective: To systematize the evidence on interventions using alternative and complementary medicine compared to placebos for the reduction of gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients visiting health centers. Methodology: Systematic review. Out of 879 articles, a sample of 10 articles was selected. Databases used include PubMed, Cochrane, Wiley, and Epistemonikos. The study design consisted of 30% systematic review, 10% meta-analysis-systematic review, 10% randomized controlled trial, 20% cohort, 20% literature review, and 10% descriptive correlational study. Based on the quality of the evidence, 50% was rated as high, and based on the strength of recommendation, 50% was considered strong. The countries of origin of the studies were Italy (20%), Germany (20%), Canada (20%), China (10%), United Kingdom (10%), Sweden (10%), and Norway (10%). Results: 80% of the studies indicated that alternative and complementary medicine interventions, including herbs, massages, and meditation, were effective in comparison to placebos for reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients. 20% showed discrepancies due to limited information in the studies. Conclusion: It was concluded that 8 out of 10 authors reported that interventions with herbs, massages, and meditation, compared to placebos, were effective in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in adult outpatients visiting health centers.
