Little is known about the relationship between diet, the composition and function of the gut microbiota and clinical symptoms of IBS. New findings identify how IBS symptom severity is related to a higher intake of foods with poor nutritional quality and gut microbiome features at both subspecies level and metabolic pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
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.

The assessment of SIBO through traditional methods doesn’t always allow diagnosing individuals with functional gastrointestinal symptoms. Scientists argue that it may be time to focus high-throughput molecular approaches for studying the small intestinal microbiome.
