A fodmap-rich diet may have more of an impact on IBS than gluten, but psychological factors seem to play a more important role in this chronic condition. — TNS
Fodmaps is an abbreviation for “fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols”. One variety was rich in gluten, while the other contained large amounts of carbohydrate of the fodmaps variety.The participants ate the three types of rice puddings in random order for one week per category, with a week’s break in between.Blood and stool samples were provided weekly, and the participants also completed questionnaires about their perceived symptoms., was doubleblind, meaning that neither the participants nor the researchers knew who ate which rice pudding and when.
“The fact that we succeeded in creating diets that were completely blind, together with the large number of participants, makes our study unique.”The fodmaps aggravated the symptoms, but not to the extent that the researchers had expected based on results from previous studies. In previous studies, researchers have mainly excluded fodmaps from the participants’ diets and this has shown a clear reduction in IBS symptoms.
The researchers want to investigate whether individuals can be divided into metabotypes, i.e. groups based on how individuals’ metabolism and intestinal flora respond to different diets, and whether these groups show different IBS symptoms.
