This study tests whether the antibiotic rifaximin can relieve bloating in people with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). If you have chronic bloating and a positive SIBO breath test, this trial may be a good fit.
This trial looks at whether an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine causes bloating. It tests how well treatment works for people with functional bloating (bloating without a clear cause) who also have this bacterial overgrowth.
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 study tests a methane and hydrogen breath test to help diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in people with digestive symptoms compared to healthy individuals. If you have ongoing belly problems like bloating, pain, or diarrhea, this test might help find the cause.
This study tests a probiotic pill for people with bothersome bloating and an abnormal hydrogen breath test. It aims to see if the probiotic helps improve gut symptoms.
This trial tests a supplement called 'Bloat' to see if it reduces post-meal bloating in healthy women who often feel bloated. If you're a woman aged 18–65 with regular bloating, this study might help find a gentle solution.
