Background
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients often experience meal‐associated symptoms. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear.
Aim
To determine small intestinal mechanisms of lipid‐induced symptoms and rectal hypersensitivity in IBS
Methods
We recruited 26 IBS patients (12 IBS‐C, 14 IBS‐D) and 15 healthy volunteers (HV). In vivo permeability was assessed using saccharide excretion assay. Rectal sensitivity was assessed using a barostat before and after small bowel lipid infusion; symptoms were assessed throughout. Next, an extended upper endoscopy with probe‐based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) was performed with changes induced by lipids. Duodenal and jejunal mucosal biopsies were obtained for transcriptomics.
Results
Following lipid infusion, a higher proportion of HV than IBS patients reported no pain, no nausea, no fullness and no urgency (P |
