Study gut bacteria in IBS patients with and without treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares the types of bacteria and other tiny organisms in the small intestine of people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and those without. By understanding these differences, doctors hope to find better ways to diagnose or treat IBS.
This study looks for signs in your body—like breath and blood tests—that can show how well you are following a special diet for IBS. It aims to find better ways to track diet compliance, which could help make dietary treatments more effective.
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 trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation, which is transferring stool bacteria from a healthy donor to help rebalance gut microbes. If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that hasn’t improved after several standard treatments, this study may see whether it reduces your symptoms and is safe.
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.
