Single-center Exploratory Study of the Intestinal Microbiota in Patients Treated for Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Predominant Constipation and Methane Production

A peripheral venous blood sample will be collected on the day of the inclusion consultation and during the follow-up consultation at V2. These samples will be collected in a single2 tubes (4 mL and 5 mL)l tube and will be taken simultaneously with routine blood samples, which require 2 tubes (10 3 mL and 4 mLl).

Approximately 1 gram of stool will be collected by the patient at home within 72 hours following the inclusion consultation and the follow-up consultation at V2, using the kits provided along with the instructions. The stools will be immediately collected into two tubes: one tube with nucleic acid preservative and one tube conservative to ensure for future metabolomic analyses. The patient will then send the sample using the pre-paid envelope included in the kit to the HCL microbiota biobank (CRB GHN) for aliquoting and storage at -80°C.
