A 12-Week Strict Low FODMAP Diet Reduces the Severity Levels of Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, and Inattention in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
A 12-wk strict LFD intervention significantly alleviated coexisting symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and improved performance on a psychometric test of attention. These findings suggest that dietary management plays a crucial role in improving both physical and mental health in patients with IBS.This study was registered at clinical trial as NCT04296552 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04296552?term=NCT04296552&rank=1).
