Diet effects on gut bacteria in healthy people and IBS patients
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study measures how your diet affects the bacteria in your gut. It is for healthy adults and people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to see if certain foods change gut bacteria differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.

This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This study looks at how gut bacteria may change in people who developed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after a stomach infection. Researchers hope to understand why some people recover completely while others develop ongoing digestive problems.
This trial tests a personalized low-FODMAP diet plan, a diet that avoids certain carbohydrates that can trigger gut symptoms, using a mobile app to help manage IBS. It aims to see if this approach improves symptoms and how it affects the connection between your gut and your brain.
This study compares how people with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) react to different foods. It may help find which foods trigger symptoms and which are safe to eat.
This study compares the bacteria and natural chemicals in the intestines of people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to those without it. It aims to find differences that could help improve IBS diagnosis or treatment.
This study tests how two types of fiber (inulin and methylcellulose) affect your gut when eaten regularly. You'll eat provided meals and have your breath tested to see how your gut breaks down the fiber.
