Summary

This pilot study tested whether a digital platform offering two carbohydrate-reduced diets (low FODMAP or low-carb) could help adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 32 participants used the app for four weeks, reporting their symptoms and quality of life. The goal was to see if this digital approach is effective and practical for symptom relief.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a convenient, scalable way for people with IBS to manage their symptoms through diet without needing a dietitian.
