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.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with IBS by your doctor using standard criteria (Rome IV).
- Your stomach or bowel symptoms seem to be related to eating food.
- You are willing and able to fill out questionnaires and follow the study rules.

This study compares the bacteria and natural chemicals in the intestines of people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to those without it. It aims to find differences that could help improve IBS diagnosis or treatment.
This study looks at how lactose intolerance relates to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in people who already have both. It may help doctors understand the link and improve treatment. Participants will have their lactose digestion checked with special breath tests.
This study uses a procedure called endomicroscopy, which lets doctors see your stomach and intestines in detail while you eat, to find out if certain foods are causing your symptoms. It aims to identify food triggers that standard allergy tests might miss.
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 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.
This trial studies how your gut germs (microbiome) and gut lining change during a new bout of Campylobacter infection. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and how the gut recovers.
