- A UK-based randomized clinical trial compared a low FODMAP diet with traditional dietary advice (TDA) for postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) in functional dyspepsia.
- At 6 weeks, the low FODMAP diet led to significantly higher rates of clinically meaningful symptom reduction (≥0.5-point and ≥0.7-point improvements) compared to TDA (61.3% vs. 37.9% and 61.3% vs. 20.7%, respectively).
- The low FODMAP diet group also showed greater improvements in individual symptoms, overall gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, and self-reported adequate relief (71.0% vs. 34.5%) than the TDA group.
- The study concluded that a low FODMAP diet is superior to traditional dietary advice for symptom relief and quality of life improvement in PDS.
