Sucrase-isomaltase genes and meal study for IBS
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) handle meals based on their genes for an enzyme that breaks down sugar and starch. It may help explain why some people benefit from a starch- and sugar-reduced diet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
- You have had genetic testing for sucrase-isomaltase genes in a past study about a starch- and sugar-reduced diet.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, or other gut disorders.
- You have no severe food allergies.
- You are not pregnant and have not had recent major gut surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how people with a genetic condition called CSID (congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency) digest sugar and whether this relates to food sensitivity. Participants eat a sugary meal and have an MRI scan to see how their gut works.
This study checks whether a special 13C breath test can accurately diagnose sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, a condition that can cause IBS-like symptoms. If it works well, it may help doctors confirm the cause of symptoms and guide better diet choices.
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 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 study looks at how fructose (a sugar) might cause belly pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You will have a breath test to check how your body absorbs fructose and a barostat test to measure your gut sensitivity.
This trial is studying whether your genes can predict how well a special diet will help your IBS symptoms. If you have moderate to severe IBS and no other diet-related conditions, you may be able to take part.
