Overview

Systematic review finds long-term low-FODMAP diet reduces gastrointestinal symptoms in IBS patients, suggesting potential benefits on quality of life.

Key Points

  • Long-term low-FODMAP diet reduces gastrointestinal symptoms significantly (SMD −1.97, 95% CI −3.63 to −0.30).
  • Improvements in anxiety (SMD −0.40, 95% CI −0.65 to −0.15) and depression (SMD −0.28, 95% CI −0.53 to −0.03) were observed with the diet.
  • Quality of life improved with a mean difference of 0.53 (95% CI 0.24–0.83) following the diet.
  • Quality of sleep showed no significant improvement (SMD −0.13, 95% CI −0.39 to 0.12) with long-term low-FODMAP diet.
