La eficacia (no confirmada) del tratamiento dietético nutricional del Síndrome Intestino Irritable

Abstract

Objective: our piece of work pretends to evaluate the efficacy of dietary nutritional treatment in IBS in recent years, analyze their efficacy at the individual level or as part of a multidisciplinary treatment, and describe the adverse events, in case that there are. Methods: We searched the PubMed and Wiley Online Library databases, in which we have introduced different descriptors related to our aims and we have selected our inclusion criteria. We have collected a total of 21 articles.Results: LOW-FODMAP, gluten-free, lactose-free and fructose-restricted diets are the nutritional interventions that most IBS patients take to alleviate their symptoms.Conclusions:The different limitations of the studies, the considerable restriction of food as well as the possible adverse events, preclude the affirmation of the effectiveness in the nutritional treatment of IBS. There is symptomatic improvement, maybe due to the psychological component, which takes preference in these patients?
