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.

The low FODMAP diet has been shown to be effective in managing the symptoms of IBS as second-line dietary advice when healthy eating approaches have failed to reduce symptoms. However, this eliminative diet is not without its challenges, which can be overcome by following the advice found below.

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.
Personalized nutrition is still in its infancy but it is an increasingly important area of research that may one day help us better plan nutritional interventions to ensure a better response from patients.

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.

A recent study by Philippe Marteau has analyzed and evaluated the speed at which abdominal discomfort improves after a fermented milk product (FMP) is consumed.
Recent research has shown the gut microbiota’s importance for gut health while confirming that diet remains one of the most powerful ways to influence this gut microbial balance.

This study highlights the role of prebiotic fibers in ameliorating IBS symptoms through changes in the gut microbiota composition.

this is the first study that has simultaneously studied the impact of FMT on IBS symptoms and changes in the gut microbiota's composition.
