How two fibers affect your gut health
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
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.

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 studies whether a breath test (hydrogen/methane lactose testing) can predict who with IBS will improve on a lactose-free diet. If you have moderate-to-severe IBS and regularly eat lactose-containing foods, the test result may help tailor your diet approach.
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 trial tests whether a low-FODMAP diet (a diet that avoids certain carbohydrates that can cause bloating and gas) can improve gut health in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If you have IBS, this diet might help reduce your symptoms and improve how well your intestines work.
This study compares two diet plans for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): a personalized diet tailored to your specific triggers and the low FODMAP diet, which avoids certain carbohydrates that can cause gas and bloating. The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving symptoms.
This study tests how different dietary fibers affect gas and fermentation in your gut. You'll eat special fiber meals and track your symptoms to help researchers understand how fiber impacts digestion.
