Irritable Bowel Syndrome Research Studies:

Medical researchers are continuously searching for new or better ways to treat illness or disease. If they discover something that may be helpful, it cannot be put into general use until years of careful testing has been done. Research studies are what enable medical research for a drug to, in turn, become available to physicians and patients. Research studies may also be referred to as clinical studies, clinical trials, drug trials or drug studies. Read Understanding Research Studies for further information.

Research subjects are needed for the following posted studies.

If you are doing research and have a study that you would like to post, please first register as a member and then contact us, and we will provide you with research credentials so that you can post your own research study on this page.

Would be interested in learning more. Just joined the forum this morning looking for support and ideas. I am 35 years old. Have two small children, own my own veterinary clinic. Just started with IBS about three weeks ago (well actually probably had a manageable form for years), but currently am in so much pain that I am having a hard time functioning. I am the only doctor in my practice and so missing work is not an option....yet I am having to take several "personal" days as of late. I can't find anything I can eat besides bananas and fat free butterless popcorn. Really struggling....a lifetime of this debilitating a condition seems terribly hopeless. Any ideas?

Critterkeeper Sorry it took me awhile to respond to you..
Anyway.. can you tell us what remedies you have tried thus far? For instance do you have an antispasmodic medication from your physician? (Bentyl, Levsin etc...)
Also do you take imodium?
Please remember this is a group of folks seeking support on how to live with and manage IBS. THESE ARE ONLY MY OWN THOUGHTS. IF YOU WANT AN EXPERT OPINION, ASK A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

Hi, I am interested in taking part in this research but live in the UK. Would this exclude me?
Thanks,

Catherine

Hello; I am interested in learning more. My name is Pam, I am 54, and I have had IBS for more than a year. I am currently working full-time and I have been taking a lot of days off due to IBS. IBS has no warning, and it seems to come in cycles; meaning some days are worst than others.
