U.S., July 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07688044) titled 'The Role That Food and Bacteria Play in Generating Abdominal Pain' on June 30.

Brief Summary: Irritable Bowel Syndrom (IBS) affects up to five percent of Canadians and has proven difficult to treat.
