Low FODMAP diet trial for IBS without lactose intolerance
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether eating a low-FODMAP diet can reduce IBS symptoms in people who do not have lactose intolerance. It aims to improve moderate-to-severe IBS symptoms by changing what kinds of carbohydrates you eat.

This study tests whether a specific diet plan can improve symptoms in people with IBS that is not constipation (IBS-D or IBS-M). If you qualify, you’ll complete symptom questionnaires and follow the study diet for the trial period to see if symptoms improve.
This trial studies whether a breath test (hydrogen/methane lactose testing) can predict who with IBS will improve on a lactose-free diet. If you have moderate-to-severe IBS and regularly eat lactose-containing foods, the test result may help tailor your diet approach.
This trial studies whether a specific diet plan delivered through a phone app (the DOMINO diet) can improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may help by changing what you eat to reduce gut symptoms, compared with standard care rules in the study.
This trial tests whether a low-FODMAP diet can improve gut barrier function in people with irritable bowel syndrome. If you have IBS and are willing to follow a specific diet for a few weeks, this study may help you manage your symptoms.
This study tests whether transferring gut bacteria from a healthy donor to a participant can reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms related to food sensitivity. You may be asked to follow a low-FODMAP diet and receive a fecal microbiota transplant if you meet the study’s safety and health requirements.
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to understand differences in gut bacteria in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depending on whether they’ve had treatment. It may help researchers find better ways to explain IBS and improve care.
