Summary

Irritable bowel syndrome causes abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, and diet often makes symptoms worse. Many patients struggle to get dietary advice because of long waits and few resources. This trial tests whether virtual dietitian consults, one-on-one and in online groups, can reduce IBS symptom severity and improve quality of life. Researchers will enroll 71 adults with IBS who are willing to change their diet and have a device for virtual visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Virtual dietitian consults and online group dietary education for IBS
What this could lead to
If it works, virtual dietitian care could give more people with IBS easy access to dietary help that eases symptoms and improves daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 71 people, and virtual dietary advice may not work for everyone or replace in-person care. Results may not apply to all IBS patients.
