Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common gut-brain interaction disorder that can significantly impact quality of life. Following diagnosis, timely and evidence-based management is vital for the care of patients with IBS to improve outcomes and increase patient satisfaction. Good communication is paramount and clinicians should provide a clear explanation of the disorder, with a focus on exploring the patient‘s own beliefs about the disorder and discussing any concerns they may have. It should be emphasised that symptoms are often chronic and that treatment, although intended to improve symptoms, may not completely alleviate them Dietary management has shown promising results in recent years The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of dietary approaches to the treatment of ADHD and to assess the current evidence supporting their efficacy in improving symptoms In turn, this may lead to a more individualised approach and management of patients in the future.
Key words: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols, diet, gluten-free diet, probiotics, dietary fiber
