Gut bacteria and fructose sensitivity in irritable bowel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria interact with fructose (a sugar in fruits and some vegetables) to cause belly pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If you have IBS and fructose intolerance, this research might help find new ways to treat your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares how people with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) react to different foods. It may help find which foods trigger symptoms and which are safe to eat.
This study compares different dietary and behavioral treatments to find out which works best for different people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You'll be asked to follow a specific treatment program to see how it affects your symptoms.
This study looks at how certain foods and gut bacteria might trigger abdominal pain in people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). If you have IBS and frequent belly pain, you may help researchers understand the link between diet, bacteria, and pain.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) and how they relate to your IBS symptoms. It may help researchers understand IBS better and could lead to new treatments.
This study tests a new breath test to see if a digestive enzyme problem (sucrase-isomaltase deficiency) causes IBS symptoms. If you have IBS, this could help find a specific cause and lead to better treatment.
This study looks at how lactose intolerance relates to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in people who already have both. It may help doctors understand the link and improve treatment. Participants will have their lactose digestion checked with special breath tests.
