IBS and immune reactions to bacteria in the gut
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether some IBS symptoms are linked to a certain gut bacteria and an immune reaction. It aims to understand the cause of IBS to find better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to understand whether it’s connected to lactose intolerance. Participants will be selected based on specific lactose breath and tolerance test results and recent imaging that doesn’t show other causes for symptoms.
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 looks at how amino acids in stool and taste receptors in the gut relate to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It aims to better understand IBS and may help find new ways to manage symptoms.
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 study tests whether a skin patch can help identify food allergies in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose symptoms are not well controlled. It involves avoiding certain foods and using patches on your back to see if you react.
