Fructose and belly pain study for IBS
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
This study looks at how the body handles fructose (a natural sugar) in people with different weights. It may help explain why some people process sugars differently.
This study tests a device called AIRE-2 that analyzes your breath to see if it can help manage IBD symptoms. It is for people with IBD who are in remission but still have IBS-like symptoms like belly pain or bloating.
