Symptoms and dietary practices of irritable bowel syndrome patients compared to controls: results of a United States National survey.

CONCLUSIONS: In this US survey, IBS was reported by 9% of the population, most often females over 45 years. IBS patients were more likely to implement therapeutic strategies and cite food triggers, yet few were aware of the low-FODMAP diet. Outreach programs could improve awareness of this substantiated intervention. PMID: 30293415 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
