Irritable bowel diet doubts

There is very little evidence to show that a diet often used by people with irritable bowel syndrome actually works, a study has found.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common, long-term condition that causes stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation and is thought to affect up to one in five people at some point in their life.

Around twice as many women are affected as men.
