Abstract in brief

  • A randomized controlled trial comparing a low-FODMAP diet with traditional dietary advice in IBS patients found that both approaches significantly reduced symptoms over 4 weeks, with no significant difference between the two.
  • Both groups showed improvements in symptom severity, but the study did not demonstrate that the low-FODMAP diet was superior to traditional dietary strategies.
  • Patients adhered well to their respective diets, and improvements were measured using symptom severity scales and food diaries, supporting the effectiveness of dietary management for IBS.]
