Gut leak study seeks clues in lactose intolerant adults
NCT ID NCT07424898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how lactose intolerance affects the gut's barrier and inflammation in 200 adults with IBS-like symptoms. Researchers will measure markers in stool samples to see if they relate to symptom severity. The goal is to better understand the link between lactose intolerance and gut health, not to test a new treatment.
