ConfocAl endomicroSCopy bAsed Diet Trial in IBS
Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Summary
After a thorough baseline evaluation, IBS patients will be exposed to nutrients while undergoing confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE). Patients presenting an acute mucosal reaction upon nutrient exposure will be instructed to exclude their respective trigger nutrient or a nutrient without mucosal reaction (=sham diet) from their diet for 4 weeks in a randomized, blinded crossover fashion. The aim of the trial is to assess the symptomatic response to the targeted diet and further elucidate mechanisms underlying the acute mucosal reactions observed in CLE upon nutrient exposure.
