The central hypothesis of this study is that specific shifts in the GI microbiome composition correlate with altered colonic SCFAs and BAs and contribute to IBS symptoms. Primary aims include: (a) identifying GI microbiome signatures in IBS subtypes (IBS-C and IBS-D) and matched controls, and test if microbiome signatures in these groups correlate with fecal SCFAs and bacterial fermentation of an indigestible carbohydrate (inulin) after a dietary challenge (fecal inulin), and (b) determining if GI microbiome signatures in IBS subtypes and controls correlate with fecal BAs or markers of SCFA production (fecal SCFAs or inulin) and test if BAs correlate with fecal SCFAs or inulin.\n\nThe target population is adults ages 18-65 years meeting Rome IV criteria for IBS (both diarrhea- and constipation-predominant, IBS-D and IBS-C) and asymptomatic controls. Primary outcomes will be fecal bile acid excretion and profile, short-chain fatty acid excretion and profile, colonic transit, and fecal microbiota. Secondary outcomes will be stool characteristics based on responses to validated bowel diaries. Stool samples will be collected from participants during the last 2 days of a 4-day 100 g fat diet and split into 3 samples for fecal microbiota, SCFA, and bile acid analysis.",[74],"Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82],"irritable bowel syndrome","IBS","short-chain fatty acids","SCFAs","bile acids","fecal inulin","microbiota","2025-12-08",{"date":85,"type":86},"2025-12-09","ACTUAL",{"date":88,"type":86},"2024-11-28",{"date":90,"type":68},"2030-12-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
