Perceived IBS symptoms (IMAGE)
Caption
A large study from Chalmers University of Technology and Uppsala University, Sweden, suggests that gluten and certain types of carbohydrates called ‘fodmaps’ have less effect than expected on IBS symptoms. No effect at all could be seen for gluten and only a small effect for fodmaps. According to the metric used for IBS symptoms (IBS-SSS), a change of more than 50 points indicates a clinically significant effect. The change between fodmaps and the placebo was 42, and just 10 for gluten and the placebo.
