- Both Mediterranean diet and low-FODMAP diet reduced symptoms in IBS patients.
- The low-FODMAP diet offered greater overall relief and showed potential as a more effective treatment option.
- Secondary outcomes favored the low-FODMAP diet in reducing IBS symptom severity.
- Exploratory outcomes showed greater improvement in discomfort, bloating, and quality of life in the low-FODMAP diet group.
- The study calls for larger real-world studies to evaluate long-term outcomes and determine the role of the Mediterranean diet in treating IBS.
