Originally Published 1 year ago — by NPR

A new study published in The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that dietary changes, specifically low-carb and low FODMAP diets, can significantly reduce IBS symptoms more effectively than medications. The study involved 294 Swedish adults and showed that 76% of participants on the low FODMAP diet and 71% on the low-carb diet reported symptom relief, compared to 58% in the medication group. The findings suggest that dietary interventions may be a more cost-effective and simpler approach to managing IBS symptoms.
