Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that a low-FODMAP diet significantly reduces gastrointestinal symptoms and improves quality of life in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with moderate to large effects observed across various studies.
The research analyzed data from 12 studies and indicated that the low-FODMAP diet decreases IBS severity and boosts IBS-specific quality of life scores, although more research is needed to understand its long-term impact on nutrition and gut bacteria.
Despite promising results, the review emphasizes that further studies are necessary to clarify the diet's long-term safety and effects on nutritional balance and gut microbiota in IBS patients.

過敏性腸症候群では、低FODMAP食（FODMAP：大腸でガスを発生させる食事）によって症状を改善し、生活の質（QOL）を向上させる可能性があります。特におなかが張っている人には症状が軽くなる人が多いです。 https://t.co/m8xwn7Zn3I
