About this study

Official title: Comparison of Microbiota and Quality of Life for a Low FODMAPs Versus Standard Dietary Advice in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

IBS is a global disease, patients often because of long-term symptoms of recurrent, not timely diagnosis and treatment effect is not ideal and frequent treatment, seriously affect the quality of life, and cause the corresponding economic and social burden.At present,a number of studies suggest that fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) can induce IBS symptoms.Data from large randomized controlled trials are limited, leaving clinicians with the challenge of providing patients with reliable guidance based on minimal evidence.

IBS is a global disease, patients often because of long-term symptoms of recurrent, not timely diagnosis and treatment effect is not ideal and frequent treatment, seriously affect the quality of life, and cause the corresponding economic and social burden.At present,a number of studies suggest that fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) can induce IBS symptoms.Data from large randomized controlled trials are limited, leaving clinicians with the challenge of providing patients with reliable guidance based on minimal evidence.

This study will compare the effect of low FODMAPs diet and usual diet instruction on Intestinal flora, intestinal short chain fatty acids and quality of life by two groups.The results will answer the effect and long-term safety of Low FODMAPs diet.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Microbiota / Short chain fatty acids

    The fecal samples of IBS patients were analyzed.

    Measured: Change from baseline Microbiota / Short chain fatty acids at 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system scale

    Irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system scale is an integral system for monitoring the severity of IBS in patients with disease severity.The scale is mainly from the degree of abdominal pain, abdominal pain frequency, abdominal distension, defecation satisfaction and the impact of life, according to the 10cm visual scoring method

    Measured: Baseline,1,and 3 month post randomization

  2. The Short Form 36 (SF-36) scale

    SF-36 is a general scale, at present, the most commonly used evaluation of IBS. It includes 36 items, a total of 8 dimensions

    Measured: Baseline,1,and 3 month post randomization

  3. Irritable bowel syndrome quality of life (IBS-QOL) scale

    Irritable bowel syndrome quality of life (IBS-QOL) scale is a more extensive application of the specific scale of IBS.

    Measured: Baseline,1,and 3 month post randomization

  4. Satisfaction questionnaire

    To understand the patient's satisfaction with symptom control and diet guidance. The questionnaire included 3 items

    Measured: 1,and 3 month post randomization
