Study Summary

The hypothesis is that changes in the bacterial composition of the stool are associated with the differences in bile acids and short chain fatty acids in patients having irritable bowel syndrome compared to healthy individuals.
Primary Outcome
Stool samples will be collected over 2 days for measurement of fecal bile acids (mcmol/48h) by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectometry
Interventions
