Blue muffin test for gut function in overweight adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a blue-colored muffin to check how well your stomach and intestines work. It may help doctors understand and treat digestive problems in people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 25, meaning you are overweight or have obesity.
- You do not have conditions like celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or prior small intestine surgery (other than weight-loss surgery).
- You are not taking medications that affect stomach movement, such as certain anti-nausea drugs, antibiotics, or pain relievers.
- You are not allergic to gluten, nuts, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, or sunflower oil.
- You do not have active cancer, severe organ failure, or a muscle-weakening condition.

This study looks at ways to promote early diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition where the intestines don’t get enough blood over time. If you’re being evaluated for this problem, the trial may help ensure the right diagnosis happens sooner.
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 how two types of fiber (inulin and methylcellulose) affect your gut when eaten regularly. You'll eat provided meals and have your breath tested to see how your gut breaks down the fiber.
This study looks at whether interventions that change your gut bacteria can change how you decide what to eat. It may help researchers understand the gut–brain link behind eating behavior.
This study compares people with normal weight to people with obesity who are otherwise healthy to understand how body weight affects gut bacteria, immune function, and blood vessel health. Results may help explain why some people with obesity stay healthier than others.
This study checks whether a noninvasive “mapping” test placed on the belly and chest can help tell apart people with certain upper stomach symptoms from healthy controls. It may help researchers better understand stomach function and symptoms without relying only on invasive tests.
