Article Synopsis
- A low FODMAP diet is an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) shows similar results, making it worth comparing.
- In a study with 155 IBS patients, both diets were tested for a 4-week period, measuring various health indicators including gastrointestinal symptoms and weight changes.
- Both diets had high responder rates indicating improvement, but SSRD participants experienced more significant weight and BMI reductions, although these changes were not maintained at the 5-month follow-up.
