Abstract in brief

A study comparing prebiotics (Bimuno) and a low FODMAP diet found that prebiotics increased beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium, while the low FODMAP diet decreased them, with both methods reducing most gastrointestinal symptoms over four weeks.
However, symptom relief was temporary, as symptoms reappeared after stopping the treatments, indicating ongoing management might be necessary.
The findings suggest that intermittent use of prebiotics could be a potential alternative to restrictive diets for managing gut symptoms in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.]
