Predictors of response to a low‐FODMAP diet in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders and lactose or fructose intolerance

Abstract

Adequate global symptom relief was achieved with a low-FODMAP diet in a large majority of functional gastrointestinal disorders patients with fructose or lactose intolerance. Independent predictors of a satisfactory dietary outcome were only seen in fructose intolerant patients, and were indicative of changes in intestinal host or microbiome metabolism.
