Summary
This study looked at whether fructans, a type of carbohydrate found in foods like wheat, onion, and garlic, affect symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with diarrhea. 65 participants were given either fructans or a placebo to compare changes in symptom severity, gas production, and gut health. The goal was to understand if these common food components trigger or possibly improve IBS symptoms.
