How food and bacteria cause belly pain in IBS
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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 whether probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can help reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and change certain markers in your gut. You'll take a probiotic supplement for 12 weeks while researchers track how your symptoms and gut health change.
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 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.
This study tests whether a low FODMAP diet reduces bloating in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional constipation. It compares this diet to a standard diet, and may help you manage your bloating.
This study looks at how a low FODMAP diet affects people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional dyspepsia (FD). It aims to understand why this diet helps some patients and may offer a way to manage your symptoms.
