This trial tests whether a supplement called glutamine can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who have increased gut permeability (leaky gut). It aims to see if taking glutamine improves digestive symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), which transfers healthy bacteria from a donor into your gut, can reduce severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. FMT is being studied as a possible new treatment for people with IBS that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests a dietary supplement called Enzymax DuoBiotics to see if it helps ease irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms like belly pain and irregular bowel habits. If you have IBS and are looking for a non-drug option, this may be a good fit.
This trial tests whether a digestive enzyme supplement can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose symptoms returned after they previously improved on a special low-FODMAP Mediterranean diet.
This trial tests whether a low-FODMAP diet (a diet that avoids certain carbohydrates that can cause bloating and gas) can improve gut health in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If you have IBS, this diet might help reduce your symptoms and improve how well your intestines work.
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.
