Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
This study tests how Rifaximin (a medicine for SIBO) affects the bacteria and other substances in your gut. You'll swallow a small capsule that collects samples as it travels through your digestive system, so researchers can see how your gut changes during treatment.
This trial tests a medication called rifaximin (an antibiotic that works in the gut) to see if it reduces bloating in people with functional bowel disorders like IBS or chronic constipation. If you have stubborn bloating despite treatment, this could be a new option to help you feel better.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic supplement to the antibiotic rifaximin improves treatment for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine. If you have IBS and SIBO, this combination might help reduce your symptoms.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications—rifaximin (a gut antibiotic) and NAC (a supplement that helps break down mucus)—can reduce belly pain and diarrhea in people with IBS whose symptoms are not well controlled. It may be an option if other treatments haven't worked well enough.
This trial tests whether a herbal supplement called Biocidin REMOVE can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who also have a condition called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine. The study aims to see if the supplement can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
