Study Overview

Brief Summary

This research is studying whether changing an individual's diet may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This research will show if diet might play a role in triggering changes that may cause IBS. This study is being done to learn if a low FODMAP (fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) diet causes changes in the colon lining which mediates improvement in IBS symptoms.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Normal serum studies including serum tissue-transglutaminase antibodies, thyroid stimulating hormone levels, C-reactive protein or fecal calprotectin, complete blood count since the onset of symptoms.
  • Normal stool studies including, ova and parasites since the onset of symptoms
  • IBS-SSS score of ≥175 at the end of the 7-day screening period
  • In case of presence of any alarm features and/or elevated inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein or fecal calprotectin), patients will be eligible if they have been excluded for inflammatory bowel disease with colonoscopy in the last one year.
  • Exclusion criteria
  • individuals already on a LFD or other dietary restriction such as gluten free diet within the past 6 months
  • individuals with any known food allergy or insulin-dependent diabetes
  • known history of celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease or microscopic colitis
  • prior small bowel or colonic surgery or cholecystectomy
  • pregnant patients
  • Antibiotics in the past 3 months
  • Those who regularly use mast cell stabilizers or anti-histaminic or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) excluding daily baby aspirin or steroids or bile-acid binder.
