Diet is becoming increasingly popular as a means of managing IBS symptoms. A new study in 95 adults with IBS examines diet-gut microbiota associations and concludes that baseline gut microbiota is not a good predictor of clinical response to a low FODMAP diet or probiotic intervention.

The heterogeneity of cross-sectional IBS studies has limited elucidating the gut ecosystem’s overall involvement in the disease pathogenesis. New longitudinal research that integrates multi-omics, patient and gastrointestinal data reveals previously unidentified targets that accompany changes in IBS activity.
Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common disorders diagnosed by gastroenterologists. Peppermint oil, specific probiotics, psyllium supplementation, first-line IBS dietary advice, and a low FODMAP diet can aid in improving IBS symptoms.
Diet is one of the cornerstones for managing IBS. The study of mechanisms of action coupled with symptom-related data are valuable for understanding the role of exclusion diets in patients with IBS.

Gibson and Roberfroid were the first to anticipate that probiotics and prebiotics could be combined as synbiotics back in 1995. Mary Ellen Sanders and Andreu Prados introduce our new selection of human research on the health benefits of synbiotics.

An accurate diagnosis of patients with IBS remains a challenge because it relies largely on clinical criteria. Now scientists have developed an improved disease classification technique that enables personalized diagnosis of pediatric patients with IBS based on their gut microbiome.

Dietary fibers may benefit gut bacterial groups in different ways. Hiel and colleagues have recently found that regular consumption of vegetables rich in inulin-type fructans may improve food behavior, including a drop in preference for fat, salt or sugars.

An individual’s gut microbiota composition might be used in predicting responses to dietary interventions. However, there’s still inconsistent evidence to support the existence of signature gut microbiota compositions that predict clinical response to diet in obese and IBS patients.
