Bacteria overgrowth in stomach condition study
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with autoimmune gastritis (a stomach condition) are more likely to have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), which can cause bloating and other symptoms. It uses a simple breath test and questionnaires.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG), as shown by a prior endoscopy and blood tests.
- You have not taken any acid-reducing medications (like omeprazole or pantoprazole) for at least 2 weeks.
- You have not had certain other bowel diseases (like Crohn's, tumors, or blockages), as shown by a prior colonoscopy or CT scan.
- You can complete a hydrogen and methane breath test and a few questionnaires, with or without help.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 4 weeks, and avoid certain foods (like yogurt, kimchi, or beer) the day before the test.

This study looks at how symptoms of indigestion (dyspepsia) relate to a specific type of chronic stomach inflammation called atrophic gastritis. It is a simple observation that involves a short questionnaire.
This study checks whether breath tests can help identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in people with reflux-like symptoms (heartburn or regurgitation). If you qualify, you may be asked to avoid certain medicines and treatments for a short time so the test results are accurate.
This study uses simple breath tests to check for bacterial overgrowth in the gut, which may cause symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, or weight loss in people with chronic pancreatitis or after partial pancreas removal. It aims to find out if treating this bacterial issue could improve symptoms.
This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This is a research registry that collects small-bowel fluid samples from people being tested for “SIBO” (an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine). It aims to describe what bacteria are present and how results differ between people with suspected SIBO and others having similar tests for other reasons.
This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
