Abstract

Dietary guidance has been reported to improve the symptoms and quality of life in IBS patients [8,9,10], and so it is not clear whether the effect of a low-starch, low-sucrose diet is due to the intervention or the placebo effect added to the effect of the provided dietary information. A particularly interesting observation is a dramatic reduction of symptoms in patients with IBS in a recent randomized placebo-controlled trial of dietary supplements containing glutamine [17]. Within the limitations of using probiotics supplements to restore the abundance and diversity of the intestinal bacteria, it is conceivable that transplanting the microbiome from a healthy subject with adequate bowel function to IBS patients would constitute an ideal intervention. El-Salhy, M.; Lilbo, E.; Reinemo, A.; Salmeøid, L.; Hausken, T. Effects of a health program comprising reassurance, diet management, probiotic administration and regular exercise on symptoms and quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
