Traditional Dietary Advice Versus a Low FODMAP Diet Intake in IBS Patients

Conditions

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Keywords

Defecation, Abdominal pain

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to to assess if the new diet with a low-FODMAP(Fermented Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides And Polyols) -content yields a milder symptom picture in IBS patients compared to traditionally dietary advice in IBS. The study also aim to investigate patients compliance to either dietary advices. Further, the investigators aim to find out if IBS patients with different symptoms are alleviated in different ways, to be able to individualize the dietary advices to result in a more optimal symptom relief in each patient in the future.
