Der er utilstraekkelig evidens for effekten af low-FODMAP-diaet ved colon irritabile
Sammanfattning
The low FODMAP (fermentable oligo-, di- and monosacharides and polyoles) diet (LFD) allegedly reduces symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Eleven studies have
examined the effects of LFD on IBS. Most studies reported a symptomatic effect, but methodological weaknesses such as lack of relevant control group and of proper blinding
means that a placebo response cannot be excluded. No studies have examined the effect of the important reintroduction phase nor the effects of LFD on IBS patients in primary
care. Evidence suggests that intake of high dose FODMAP can induce gastrointestinal symptoms, but the clinical relevance of this is doubtful.
