Abstract in brief

Diet plays a significant role in the development and management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects a considerable portion of the global population and varies between Asian and Western countries.
Dietary interventions like lowFODMAP and NICE diets can improve IBS symptoms and enhance patients' quality of life by modulating gut bacteria and restoring normal levels of gut endocrine cells.
The hypothesis suggests that diet acts as a prebiotic, fostering bacteria that influence intestinal cells, and that changes in these cells' density are linked to IBS symptoms, which can be improved through dietary modifications.
