Summary
This study looks at whether a Low-FODMAP diet can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by reducing leaky gut, easing symptoms, and improving quality of life. Twenty-four adults with IBS will follow either a Low-FODMAP or a traditional diet for four weeks. Researchers will measure gut health markers and symptom scores before and after the diet.
