Quick Summary
In this randomized crossover trial, the elimination of specific fermentable carbohydrates (or FODMAPs) reduced irritable bowel syndrome symptoms in 80% of participants.
What was studied?
The efficacy of a low-FODMAP diet for improving irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and the effects of reintroducing individual FODMAPs.*
Fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) are poorly absorbed dietary carbohydrates associated with gastrointestinal symptoms due to their fermentability and influence on intestinal fluid retention.
The primary outcome was the change in the IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) scores, which were used to monitor symptom severity during FODMAP elimination and reintroduction.
