Endomicroscopy for food-related IBS-like symptoms
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a procedure called endomicroscopy, which lets doctors see your stomach and intestines in detail while you eat, to find out if certain foods are causing your symptoms. It aims to identify food triggers that standard allergy tests might miss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have long-lasting IBS-like symptoms (like pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation) that seem related to eating.

- You have tested negative for celiac disease.
- You have not been diagnosed with a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).
- You are not pregnant or nursing, not allergic to fluorescein dye, have normal kidney function, and no active gastrointestinal bleeding.
