Brain Gut
Brain-Gut-Microbiota Interaction in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Multidimensional Approach
Imaging
Brain structure and function and gastro-intestinal motility: Will be assessed with functional, structural, diffusion weighted and abdominal MRI, and with abdominal ultrasonography.
Biomarkers
Patient phenotypes and identification of clinically useful molecular and imaging-derived biomarkers: Possible biomarkers will be explored through all our data collection methods, and using machine-learning.
Diet
The importance of diet in driving IBS: Low-FODMAP diet has been shown helpful reliving IBS symptoms, and through our multidisciplinary research we hope to understand driving mechanisms for this effect.
Microbiota
Microbiota profiles in IBS: Blood and stool samples will enable understanding of the microbial signatures in IBS.
.
Cognition and Emotion
Cognition and emotion in IBS will be evaluated by a set of neuropsychological tests and questionnaires.

Cognition and emotion in IBS: Will be evaluated through neuropsychological assessments and combined with data from the other work packages.
