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.
