Chronic diarrhoea is common and often believed to result from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, up to 50% of patients with an IBS diagnosis may have something called Bile Acid Diarrhoea (BAD) instead. BAD is easily treatable however diagnosis currently relies on a complex test involving two full body scans. The aim of the study is therefore to investigate whether a simple laboratory test, that can be done on a single blood sample, would be appropriate instead. This laboratory test is called 7aC4. In order to determine whether 7aC4 could be a good test for BAD, it needs to be determined whether eating a meal can alter the levels of 7aC4. The aim of this study is to measure 7aC4 at several time points before and after eating a meal, to see what effect this has on 7aC4 levels.
This exploratory observational trial provides the opportunity to gather information on the effect of daily consumption of Poppi Apple Cider Vinegar Prebiotic Soda on gut health and digestion.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifaceted disorder where diet plays a pivotal role in symptom generation and management. The traditional dietary advice given to patients in clinical settings are based on the NICE guidelines. Some of the advice included in these guidelines have limited scientific evidence. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the traditional dietary advice in IBS, according to the NICE guidelines, within a primary health care setting, where treatment is delivered digitally and in groups of 8-12 individuals. As a sham comparator, one group will receive dietary advice according to the Swedish dietary guidelines regarding healthy eating habits.
This study was designed to evaluate fecal calprotectin levels in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Fecal calprotectin levels from fibromyalgia patients with and without gastrointestinal symptoms as well as healthy controls will be measured and compared.
To evaluate the impact of low FODMAP diet on Health related Quality of life in children with Irritable bowel syndrome according to ROME IV criteria in a group of patients in pediatric Hospital at Ain Shams University
This study aims to investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on abdominal pain and other symptoms in patients with IBS-C.
This is an observational study in which data from people with functional gastrointestinal disorders who decide on their own or by recommendation of their doctors or pharmacists to take Iberogast Advance are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. Functional stomach and bowel (or gastrointestinal) disorders are conditions in which the functionality of the gut, mainly the gut muscles or the gut/brain axis, is disturbed. Functional stomach and bowel disorders cause symptoms like heartburn, cramps and pain of the upper and middle part of the belly, also known as functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS affects predominantly the lower digestive system and causes symptoms like pain of the belly, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Iberogast Advance is already available in German pharmacies without prescription for patients with gastrointestinal disorders such as FD and IBS. It contains herb extracts that work against inflammation, are calming, and protect the mucosa (innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract). Earlier controlled studies with Iberogast Advance have shown how well it works and how it affects the body. Since Iberogast Advance is only available since October 2020, there is no information on its use in the real-world setting yet. Therefore, the study researchers want to collect data on the use of Iberogast Advance in the real-world setting. To do this, people with long-term and repeated functional gastrointestinal symptoms who purchase Iberogast Advance from participating pharmacies across Germany will be asked to fill out a questionnaire optionally covering 6 weeks of treatment. The participants will take Iberogast Advance as recommended in the product information. The main purpose of this study is to see how well Iberogast Advance works and is perceived in the real-world setting. Participants will record how they experience a change of their gastrointestinal symptoms (assessed single-symptom-based) from start and during 6 weeks of treatment. Researchers will then compare the differences and analyze treatment effects. The researchers will additionally collect information on usage behavior, characteristics of the patients, their symptoms, tolerability and their satisfaction with Iberogast Advance. There will be no required tests or visits with a study doctor in this study. The researchers will collect the results of the patient questionnaires from Jun 2022 to January 2023.
Patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD) were examined and received treatment in the study. Severity of complaints and quality of life patients were assessed according to questionnaires. The state of the intestinal barrier (analysis of the protein composition, intestinal mucin levels in biopsies, serum zonulin level in blood), the composition of the gut microbiota (16S rRNA gene sequencing), bacterial metabolic function (short-chain fatty acid levels in feces), and the presence of gut inflammation (levels of lymphocytes and eosinophils in biopsies) were assessed in the patients. Patients were divided into 3 treatment groups: trimebutin + placebo, rebamipide + placebo, trimebutin + rebamipide. The above parameters were compared in patients before and after treatment.
Non-erosive reflux disease（NERD）and Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome（IBS-D）are both the common refractory gastrointestinal diseases. Patients, who suffered from overlapping symptoms of NERD and IBS-D, present more serious symptom manifestation, anxiety, and worse life quality than those with solely disease. There is lack of effective treatment for overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment has the advantages of overall regulation and individualized treatment, but lack of high-level evidence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of WPQW granule for the treatment of NERD overlapping IBS-D.
