Article Synopsis
- - The systematic review analyzed children's cooking interventions from 1998 to 2022 to identify successful program factors, focusing on outcomes like cooking skills, food acceptance, and dietary behavior.
- - After reviewing 1,104 articles, 23 studies were included, revealing that while many programs successfully enhanced children's cooking skills and confidence, actual dietary improvements were limited, and program quality varied significantly.
- - The study concluded that the lack of standardized assessments and diverse program characteristics hindered the identification of best practices, suggesting that future cooking interventions should improve their structure and measurement tools for better long-term results.
Background & Aims: A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (LFD) has been shown to effectively reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Effects resulting from real-world studies may differ from those seen in efficacy studies because of the diversity of patients in real-world settings. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effect of the LFD on reducing IBS symptoms and improving the quality of life (QoL) in efficacy trials and real-world studies.

A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) is one therapeutic option for IBS. Although the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet has been reported in several systematic reviews, the efficacy-effectiveness gap of the low FODMAP diet has not yet been assessed.
