Herbal supplement for bacterial overgrowth in irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a herbal supplement called Biocidin REMOVE can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who also have a condition called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine. The study aims to see if the supplement can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and have had a breath test showing either high levels of hydrogen or methane (indicating bacterial overgrowth) or a 'flat line' pattern (very low gas levels).
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant and are sexually active with a male partner, you must agree to use effective birth control.

This trial compares two treatments for SIBO, a condition that causes bloating and diarrhea due to too much bacteria in the small intestine. One treatment is a probiotic (a beneficial yeast) and the other is an antibiotic. The goal is to see which one works better.
This study tests whether adding a probiotic supplement to the antibiotic rifaximin improves treatment for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine. If you have IBS and SIBO, this combination might help reduce your symptoms.
This study tests a daily supplement containing beneficial bacteria (synbiotic) and plant extracts to improve gut health and reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits. It lasts about 16 weeks and involves taking the supplement and providing blood and stool samples.
This study tests whether a probiotic treatment designed specifically for you can help ease your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. If you make it into the study, you'll get a treatment plan tailored to your gut and your symptoms.
This trial tests whether a supplement made from Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) can help people with SIBO, a gut condition. You will take the supplement or a placebo for 5 weeks and have breath tests and blood draws to see how it affects your symptoms.
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.
