Studying gut bacteria in IBS and digestive issues
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have symptoms of IBS, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or a functional GI disorder
- You are healthy enough for minor procedures (ASA class 1 or 2)
- You can read and understand English and agree to the study
- If you could become pregnant, you will use birth control and have a negative pregnancy test

This study tests the SIMBA capsule to learn how gut bacteria (dysbiosis) relate to digestive conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how the capsule can be used safely.
This study collects samples during an upper endoscopy (a camera test of your upper digestive system) to learn about the microbes living in the small intestine of people with digestive diseases. It may help researchers understand how these microbes affect gut health.
This study looks at how gut bacteria may change in people who developed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after a stomach infection. Researchers hope to understand why some people recover completely while others develop ongoing digestive problems.
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 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.
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.
