Dietary index for gut microbiota and risk of incident irritable bowel syndrome: a large-scale prospective cohort study
Higher baseline DI-GM scores, reflecting dietary patterns supportive of gut microbiota, are associated with lower risk of developing IBS. These findings suggest that the DI-GM score may serve as a useful predictive tool for assessing IBS risk and facilitating the implementation of targeted dietary interventions. Future studies should examine changes in DI-GM scores over time help establish a potential causal link with IBS.
