Study of a high-fructose diet and gut health
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have tested positive for fructose malabsorption (your body has trouble absorbing a natural sugar called fructose).
- You cannot take probiotic, prebiotic, or synbiotic supplements (like 'good bacteria' pills).
- You cannot drink more than one sugar-sweetened drink per day (like soda, sweet tea, or fruit juice with added sugar).
- You cannot have taken antibiotics in the past 3 months.
- You cannot have diabetes (type 1 or type 2) or other major medical conditions like heart disease or an eating disorder.
- You must not follow a vegetarian, vegan, or any restrictive diet; you must have no food allergies; and you must not smoke or use recreational drugs.

This study looks at how the body handles a sugar called fructose in people with and without fatty liver disease. It aims to understand how fructose contributes to liver fat buildup.
This study looks at how the liver responds to sugar given through a vein in obese patients with and without a fatty liver condition called MASLD. It may help doctors understand why some people develop liver problems from sugar and fat.
This study looks at how the body handles fructose (a natural sugar) in people with different weights. It may help explain why some people process sugars differently.
This study looks at how a sugar called fructose affects inflammation and metabolism in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASH. It aims to find out if fructose plays a role in making the disease worse.
This trial is testing how healthy adults process fructose (a type of sugar) as they age. You may participate if you are generally healthy and don't have certain conditions like gut diseases or metabolic problems.
This trial tests whether taking a synbiotic (a mix of helpful bacteria and fiber) can improve insulin levels and reduce inflammation in people with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD). It may help by changing the balance of bacteria in your gut.
