Summary

This study looks at whether a low FODMAP diet can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with moderate to severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who do not have lactose malabsorption. Researchers will compare results to a lactose-free diet from a previous study. The goal is to see if this restrictive diet still helps when lactose digestion is normal.
