Dietary treatment is more effective than medications in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These are the findings of a study conducted at the University of Gothenburg.
A new study reports that elderly functional constipation (FC) patients receiving an L-tryptophan (TRP) supplement paired with a low FODMAP diet had significantly reduced symptom severity scores compared to individuals on the dietary intervention alone or in the control group.
Researchers review the low FODMAP diet's mechanisms in managing IBS, highlighting its efficacy and challenges in dietary implementation for symptom relief.
Researchers evaluate popular fad diets in the USA against Dietary Guidelines for Americans, finding some can achieve high nutritional quality with minor adjustments. The study reveals that diets like low-FODMAP, vegan, and military can score well on the Healthy Eating Index when planned carefully.
