This study uses a special underwear device to track how much gas you pass and how it relates to the fiber in your diet. It will help understand normal digestive activity.
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 tests whether taking a fiber supplement (methylcellulose or psyllium) before inulin (a natural fiber) can change how the body breaks it down in the gut. The results could help people with digestive symptoms by showing how to prepare the gut for certain foods.
This study uses small sensors placed on your belly to record electrical signals from your stomach and intestines. It may help doctors better understand conditions like Crohn's disease and other digestive issues without using needles or inside-the-body tests.
This study tests whether a tailored diet can improve symptoms in people with functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort without a clear physical cause). It also uses a special in-hospital camera exam to look at the stomach lining and understand how the diet affects you.
This study looks for signs in your body—like breath and blood tests—that can show how well you are following a special diet for IBS. It aims to find better ways to track diet compliance, which could help make dietary treatments more effective.
