A starch‐ and sucrose‐reduced dietary intervention in irritable bowel syndrome patients produced a shift in gut microbiota composition along with changes in phylum, genus, and amplicon sequence variant abundances, without affecting the micro‐RNA levels

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background/Aim A randomized clinical trial with a starch‐ and sucrose‐reduced diet (SSRD) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients has shown clear improvement of participants' symptoms. The present study aimed to explore the effects of the SSRD on the gut microbiota and circulating micro‐RNA in relation to nutrient intake and gastrointestinal symptoms.
