Probiotics and gut health in children with inflammatory bowel disease
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement can change the gut bacteria in children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will collect stool samples to see if the probiotics help restore healthy gut bacteria and potentially improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how cells in the intestine process waste (a process called autophagy) in children with Crohn's disease. It aims to better understand the disease and may lead to better treatments in the future.
This study tests whether a mixture of two friendly bacteria (probiotics) can improve belly pain and other IBS symptoms in children. If your child qualifies, they may receive the probiotic mixture or a placebo for a period of time.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (a beneficial bacteria) can improve the protective lining of the gut and reduce leakage in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It involves taking the supplement for a period of time and undergoing some measurements of gut health.
This study tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent or treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in people recently diagnosed. It aims to see if friendly bacteria can calm gut inflammation and improve symptoms.
This study looks at the typical features and risk factors in children diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help families understand what affects IBD in kids, even if it is not testing a new treatment.
This study looks at how proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a type of medicine that reduces stomach acid, affect the natural bacteria in the gut of children and teenagers. It may help us understand if PPIs change gut health, which could guide future treatment decisions.
