" Recent studies indicate that a diet restricted in fermentable, poorly absorbed carbohydrates, including fructose, fructans (present in wheat and onions), sorbitol, and other sugar alcohols is beneficial, but confirmatory studies are needed."2.45The role of diet in symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome in adults: a narrative review.
