Abstract in brief

  • The review analyzed studies from 2004 to 2014 on the effectiveness of dietary fiber and FODMAP-restricted diets for managing chronic constipation (CC) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), finding that fiber is generally beneficial for mild to moderate cases while evidence for FODMAP diets is promising but limited.
  • Most studies showed fiber improving symptoms in CC and IBS, but there was significant variability in study design, making it hard to draw definitive conclusions, and more long-term, high-quality research is needed.
  • FODMAP-restricted diets can help in short-term symptom relief for some IBS patients, but current evidence is weak for their long-term safety and impact on gut health, warranting further rigorous studies.]
