NCT ID NCT06488534
First seen Jan 10, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how FODMAPs—carbohydrates that can cause bloating and gas—affect the movement of the colon and related symptoms. Fifteen healthy volunteers received FODMAPs directly into the colon during three separate visits. The goal was to measure colon pressure changes and track any abdominal symptoms, helping researchers better understand what triggers IBS.
