Title of study:
ENOUGH IBS: Evaluating Novel Uses of Fibre on Gut Health in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Brief outline of the study:
IBS is a functional GI disorder that causes long-term GI symptoms that reduce quality of life. Dietary management of IBS using the low FODMAP approach can effectively manage symptoms, but may indirectly impact upon other aspects of gut health, including bowel habit and the gut bacteria.
We have identified two types of dietary fibre whose functional properties may address these potential consequences and optimise dietary management of this condition.
The aim of this clinical trial is to provide the low FODMAP diet to participants with IBS, with or without these fibres, in order to investigate their effects on GI symptoms, GI function and the gut bacteria.
