Low FODMAP diet for bloating in IBS and functional constipation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a low FODMAP diet reduces bloating in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional constipation. It compares this diet to a standard diet, and may help you manage your bloating.

This study looks at how a low FODMAP diet affects people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional dyspepsia (FD). It aims to understand why this diet helps some patients and may offer a way to manage your symptoms.
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 trial tests whether adding osteopathic care (a hands-on therapy) to a low-FODMAP diet helps people with both fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome feel better. It compares the diet alone to the diet plus osteopathic sessions.
This study compares two special diets to see which works better for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) that causes diarrhea or mixed bowel habits. Half the participants will follow a diet called CDED, and the other half will follow the low FODMAP diet, to find out which one helps symptoms more.
This study compares different dietary and behavioral treatments to find out which works best for different people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You'll be asked to follow a specific treatment program to see how it affects your symptoms.
This study tests a diet rich in soluble and osmotic fibres to see if it helps with constipation and related gut symptoms. It looks at patients with functional constipation, constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth-related constipation.
