App-Based diet plan could ease IBS symptoms for millions
NCT ID NCT07543354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app can help doctors and dietitians create a personalized low-FODMAP diet for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). About 200 adults with IBS will either use the app or receive a diet booklet. The goal is to reduce stomach pain, bloating, and other symptoms, and to understand how the diet affects the gut-brain connection.
