Will FODMAP Diet Help you?

A recent study presented at the British Society of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting.found that irritable bowel syndrome patients experienced greater benefits from a low FODMAP diet if they had a positive fructose breath test. The researchers found that irritable bowel syndrome patients that had fructose malabsorption had more symptom relief from a low FODMAP diet as compared to patients who tested negative. We offer a home based hydrogen breath test for fructose malabsorption.
