Zahedi MJ, et al. - Experts comparatively scrutinized the effects of low fermentable oligo-di-mono-saccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) diet with current dietary treatment, general dietary advices (GDA), on the clinical response in patients with diarrhea subtype of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), wherein the gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habit status were assessed via a symptom severity scoring system and Bristol stool form scale pre-intervention and post-intervention. In contrast with the GDA group, the low FODMAP diet notably improved the overall gastrointestinal symptoms scores, stool frequency, and consistency after 6 weeks. Findings demonstrated adequate improvement of gastrointestinal symptoms for 6 weeks through both low FODMAP diet and GDA in patients with IBS-D. Nonetheless, the low FODMAP diet displayed greater benefits in IBS improvement.
