Finding ways to track diet compliance in IBS patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for signs in your body—like breath and blood tests—that can show how well you are following a special diet for IBS. It aims to find better ways to track diet compliance, which could help make dietary treatments more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of IBS (any type: diarrhea, constipation, or mixed).
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your IBS symptoms are moderate to severe (a score of 175 or higher on the IBS symptom severity scale).
- You have not followed a special diet for IBS (like low-FODMAP, gluten-free, or low-fat) in the past 6 months.
- You do not have celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of eating disorder requiring treatment in the last 10 years.
- You have not had small bowel or colon surgery (except appendix or gallbladder removal more than 6 months ago), no oral antibiotics in the past 3 months, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether a specific diet plan can improve symptoms in people with IBS that is not constipation (IBS-D or IBS-M). If you qualify, you’ll complete symptom questionnaires and follow the study diet for the trial period to see if symptoms improve.
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to understand differences in gut bacteria in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depending on whether they’ve had treatment. It may help researchers find better ways to explain IBS and improve care.
This trial tests whether a low-FODMAP diet can improve gut barrier function in people with irritable bowel syndrome. If you have IBS and are willing to follow a specific diet for a few weeks, this study may help you manage your symptoms.
This study checks whether a food questionnaire can reliably estimate what you eat, including certain carbs that can affect digestion (FODMAPs). It also looks at how the results relate to IBS symptoms and your self-reported physical activity.
This trial tests whether eating a low-FODMAP diet can reduce IBS symptoms in people who do not have lactose intolerance. It aims to improve moderate-to-severe IBS symptoms by changing what kinds of carbohydrates you eat.
This trial studies whether a specific diet plan delivered through a phone app (the DOMINO diet) can improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may help by changing what you eat to reduce gut symptoms, compared with standard care rules in the study.
