Gut bacteria clues: new stool test may spot IBS triggers
NCT ID NCT05972317
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the gut bacteria of 100 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to see if a stool test can help diagnose the condition. Half will follow a low-FODMAP diet, a common but restrictive eating plan. Researchers will compare the bacteria and symptoms between the two groups to find patterns that could lead to a simple diagnostic tool.
