This study looks at people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to understand whether it’s connected to lactose intolerance. Participants will be selected based on specific lactose breath and tolerance test results and recent imaging that doesn’t show other causes for symptoms.
This study tests a new way to diagnose lactose intolerance by measuring certain markers in your breath. It may help people who have trouble digesting dairy foods get a faster, easier diagnosis.
This trial studies whether a breath test (hydrogen/methane lactose testing) can predict who with IBS will improve on a lactose-free diet. If you have moderate-to-severe IBS and regularly eat lactose-containing foods, the test result may help tailor your diet approach.
This study looks at how lactose intolerance is linked to gut health. It is for adults with ongoing digestive issues like bloating, pain, or diarrhea, to see if their gut lining may be more sensitive.
This trial tests whether eating a low-FODMAP diet can reduce IBS symptoms in people who do not have lactose intolerance. It aims to improve moderate-to-severe IBS symptoms by changing what kinds of carbohydrates you eat.
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.
