Fecal amino acids, gut taste receptors, and IBS
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study looks at the gut bacteria in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who have constipation and produce high levels of methane gas. It aims to understand how methane relates to symptoms and may guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether a low-FODMAP diet can improve gut barrier function in people with irritable bowel syndrome. If you have IBS and are willing to follow a specific diet for a few weeks, this study may help you manage your symptoms.
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 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.
