Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study evaluates whether the gut microbiome is involved in determining whether children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) develop worsening GI symptoms (e.g. pain) when given fructans (a sugar often found in wheat). Participants will both receive a diet with fructans and a diet without fructans.
