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 a type of food allergy that is not caused by Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a protein involved in many allergic reactions. The goal is to better understand these non-IgE food allergies in children and how they affect them.
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 proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a type of medicine that reduces stomach acid, affect the natural bacteria in the gut of children and teenagers. It may help us understand if PPIs change gut health, which could guide future treatment decisions.
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 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 study follows people with food allergy and some closely related or healthy people to learn how food allergy (and related conditions) develops over time. It may help researchers find causes and better ways to predict and treat food allergy.
