Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Fermentable Oligo-, Di and Mono-saccharides And Polyols (FODMAPs) are carbohydrates that are poorly digested in intestines. The undigested carbohydrates are fermented in the colon by gut bacteria. Fermentation of these carbohydrates can lead to diarrhea, gas and distension of the colon. Low FODMAP diet effect may be mediated by changing the gut bacteria and/or by production of chemicals that influence Veteran's intestines which then result in reduced disease symptoms. The goal of this study is to compare a low FODMAP (modified healthy) diet to a high FODMAP (typical healthy) diet for effect on Veterans with IBS and symptoms of Gulf War illness.
