Summary

This study tested whether a low-FODMAP diet—which limits certain carbohydrates that can cause gas and bloating—can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 183 adults with IBS were split into two groups: one received education on the diet, the other did not. Researchers tracked symptom severity and quality of life over six months.
