Testing a probiotic for diarrhea-predominant IBS
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific probiotic (Bacillus subtilis) can help relieve symptoms in people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study also looks at whether the probiotic works by increasing a natural chemical called hypoxanthine in the body.

This trial tests a new treatment made from gut bacteria for people with irritable bowel syndrome that causes diarrhea (IBS-D). The treatment may help restore healthy gut bacteria and reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can help reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and change certain markers in your gut. You'll take a probiotic supplement for 12 weeks while researchers track how your symptoms and gut health change.
This study tests whether a synbiotic (a mix of good bacteria and fiber) can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), especially for people with diarrhea-predominant or mixed type IBS, or functional diarrhea.
This study tests a special supplement (a synbiotic with plant extracts) to see if it helps balance gut bacteria and improve IBS symptoms like bloating, belly pain, and irregular bowel habits. It lasts about 16 weeks and involves taking the supplement and providing blood and stool samples.
