This study looks at how emotional well-being relates to common digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (indigestion without a clear cause). It may help understand if improving mental health can ease stomach symptoms.
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.
This study follows adults with long-lasting “functional” digestive symptoms as part of routine care. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve how they are managed.
This study checks whether a food questionnaire can reliably estimate what you eat, including certain carbs that can affect digestion (FODMAPs). It also looks at how the results relate to IBS symptoms and your self-reported physical activity.
This study tests how two types of fiber (inulin and methylcellulose) affect your gut when eaten regularly. You'll eat provided meals and have your breath tested to see how your gut breaks down the fiber.
