Summary

This study aimed to assess the impact of implementing the low Fermentable Oligo-, Di- and Monosaccharides, And Polyols (FODMAP) diet, through an online educational service platform, on the quality of life of patients living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A prospective single-group intervention pilot study involving patients with IBS from two hospitals was conducted. Participants followed the low FODMAP diet using a web-based platform for 6 months. The IBS quality of life questionnaire (IBS-QoL), the IBS symptom severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y (STAI) were completed at baseline, after the restriction phase and after reintroduction phase.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Online low-FODMAP diet

Participants were invited to follow the online low-FODMAP diet offered by SOSCuisine®, characterized by three specific features. First, participants received customized weekly low-FODMAP menus based on the Monash University protocol. Second, a virtual assistant accompanied participants from the beginning to the end of the diet implementation, providing personalized recommendations tailored to individual's preferences and intensity of symptoms. For the reintroduction phase, the assistant guided individuals through the process of testing specific FODMAP subgroups, offering food suggestions based on individual preferences, and portion sizes. The last feature of the platform was the access to a peer support group on Facebook©, designed to foster communication among participants. This group allowed individuals to ask questions and receive valid answers, as the group was moderated by a FODMAP-specialized registered dietitian.
