Nickel and LTPs in stomach and bowel issues
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether being sensitive to nickel or certain proteins called LTPs is linked to ongoing stomach and bowel problems. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help people with functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how certain chemicals from ultra-processed foods (like packaged snacks and sodas) might trigger eosinophilic esophagitis, a food allergy condition. It will compare people with the disease to healthy volunteers of the same age and sex.
This study looks at how a common medicine for acid reflux (PPI) affects the 'good' bacteria in children's guts. Researchers will collect stool samples over time to see how the balance of bacteria changes.
This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
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 trial tests whether removing six common food groups helps people whose stomach symptoms get worse after meals. You would follow a structured diet plan and answer questionnaires to see if your symptoms improve.
This study is testing whether a probiotic supplement can help relieve symptoms of functional dyspepsia (stomach pain, fullness, or burning without a clear cause). It is for people who have moderate to severe symptoms and have not taken certain medications or supplements recently.
