Diet study for bloating with scleroderma
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special diet can help reduce bloating and stomach discomfort in people with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis). You'll follow a specific meal plan to see if it improves your digestive symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at why people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) still have bad heartburn or regurgitation even when they take strong acid-reducing medications. It aims to find better ways to understand and manage these symptoms.
This study looks at how scleroderma affects chewing and swallowing in children and adults. It aims to help understand these problems better so care can be improved.
This trial tests a new drug, GB261, for people with systemic sclerosis (a condition that causes thickening and hardening of the skin and can affect internal organs). It aims to see if it can help when other treatments haven't worked well enough.
This study compares skin samples from people with scleroderma and healthy volunteers to understand what goes wrong in the skin. It may help researchers find new treatment targets.
This pilot study tests whether a low-sulfur diet can improve ongoing belly pain and/or diarrhea symptoms in people with Crohn’s disease that looks “quiet” on tests. If you still feel symptoms even though inflammation is not active, this could help by targeting diet-related triggers.
This study tests a microbiome transplant (friendly bacteria given as an enema or in capsules) to see if it helps with constipation and bloating in people with scleroderma. The goal is to improve digestive symptoms related to your condition.
