Personalized Dietary Intervention Based on Microbiome Analysis vs FODMAP Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a well-known risk factor for diseases of the anal region (hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc.) and large intestine (colon cancer, diverticular disease). Untreatable IBS disease not only impairs the patient's quality of life but also reduces the success of surgical treatment in these diseases.
Today, only one-third of IBS patients achieve successful results with the treatment methods and diets used routinely. Balancing the composition of the gut microbiota may yield satisfactory results in this patient group. With the results of our study, we aim to reveal the effect of microbiome analysis and personalized diet on symptoms and its place in treatment in patients with IBS disease.
Patients applying to Gastroenterology outpatient clinics in respective centers due to IBS will be randomized into two groups. The patients in the control group will follow the FODMAP diet protocol for IBS; In the study group, a personalized diet will be applied according to the gut microbiota. No nutritional supplements will be used in either group. Changes in defecation habits and quality of life scale of both groups will be evaluated at the end of 6 weeks and the results will be compared.

Experimental: Personalised diet based on microbiome analysis Personalized diet application based on artificial intelligence-assisted microbiome analysis. After the microbiome analysis is made from the stool samples to be taken from the individuals, a personalized diet program will be created with an artificial intelligence-based algorithm and a diet will be applied for 6 weeks with the support of a professional dietitian. |
Dietary Supplement: Personalized dietary intervention based on microbiome analysis
Personalized dietary intervention based on individual microbiome analysis

Active Comparator: Low FODMAP diet After the microbiome analysis is made from the stool samples to be taken from the individuals, low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet will be applied for 6 weeks with the support of a professional dietitian. |
Dietary Supplement: Low-FODMAP diet
Low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols diet
