Gut Microbiota in Chronic GI Diseases (NCT06532110)
The Role of Gut Microbiota in Chronic GI Diseases: A Pilot Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The study involves characterizing the microbiota of patients with IBS, functional diarrhea, IBD, severe motility disorders and celiac disease. This will be complemented by a translational phase of human-mouse hybrid experiments in which germ-free mice will be colonized with feces from these patients with different GI disease and non-disease controls and we will compare symptoms, microbiota composition and histological changes in the gut and in the brain of the mice.
