Endomicroscopy for food-related gut changes
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a tiny camera during an endoscopy to see how the gut lining reacts to certain foods. It may help find hidden food sensitivities in people with ongoing IBS-like symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had IBS-like symptoms (like belly pain or diarrhea) related to eating for a long time.
- You have had a negative or low allergy test for food (Ig-E test or skin prick test).
- You have been tested for celiac disease and the result was negative.
- You have not had a previous endoscopy or colonoscopy that found a chronic condition like Crohn's or colitis.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You do not have a known allergy to fluorescein dye, kidney problems, or active GI bleeding.

This study looks at whether a specific immune signal (IgE) found in the gut lining can help diagnose food allergy or food-related hypersensitivity. You may join if you have symptoms that suggest a food allergy, or (if you’re healthy) if you need endoscopy for other reasons.
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 a special camera and protein tests to see how well treatments for IBD are working in children. It may help doctors learn more about your disease and how to best treat it.
This study uses a special microscope during a colonoscopy to look at the lining of your colon in detail. It aims to see if this microscope can help predict how ulcerative colitis will progress, which could guide treatment decisions.
This study tests whether changing your diet and lifestyle can help repair the lining of your gut if you have Crohn's disease. It focuses on people whose Crohn's causes food-related symptoms or IBS-like symptoms, and involves a special scope procedure to check for food-triggered gut barrier damage.
This study uses a special microscope (pCLE) to look at the lining of the gut in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a computer program that can learn to diagnose IBS from these images, which could lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis.
