Study finds 'very limited evidence' that IBS diet works

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

IBS 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.
