Registry studying bacteria patterns in suspected small bowel overgrowth
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This is a research registry that collects small-bowel fluid samples from people being tested for “SIBO” (an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine). It aims to describe what bacteria are present and how results differ between people with suspected SIBO and others having similar tests for other reasons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a small-bowel aspiration (a sample taken from the small intestine) for suspected SIBO
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past 30 days (unless your doctor is repeating aspiration for clearance)
- You have not taken probiotics in the past 30 days
- You have not used a colon-cleaning prep in the past 1 month
- You can safely have an upper endoscopy (or the study test) if needed
- You can give informed consent (and you’re not pregnant)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how Rifaximin (a medicine for SIBO) affects the bacteria and other substances in your gut. You'll swallow a small capsule that collects samples as it travels through your digestive system, so researchers can see how your gut changes during treatment.
This early study tests whether fecal microbiota transplant (a stool donation placed into the gut) is safe and practical for children with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). It may help reduce SIBO symptoms, but the main goal is to see if the treatment and study steps work well.
This study enrolls healthy adults to build a registry and biobank (collection of samples). It tests whether collecting information and biological samples from people without symptoms can help researchers understand normal stomach and esophagus function.
This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This study checks whether breath tests can help identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in people with reflux-like symptoms (heartburn or regurgitation). If you qualify, you may be asked to avoid certain medicines and treatments for a short time so the test results are accurate.
This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
