However, while effective, adherence to restricting dietary FODMAPs can be challenging and burdensome. The question remains whether limiting all FODMAPs during the restrictive phase of the diet is necessary for symptomatic improvement in the dietary treatment of IBS, or if targeting selected groups of FODMAPs for restriction is sufficient for clinical response. Our study aimed to determine which individual FODMAPs are most likely to lead to symptom generation in patients with IBS who have improved with fodmap restriction.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Patients meeting Rome IV criteria for IBS were invited to participate in a 12-week study to identify individual FODMAP sensitivities. Those subjects who demonstrated symptom improvement after a 2- to 4-week open-label FODMAP elimination period were recruited to a 10-week blinded-phased FODMAP reintroduction phase of 7 days for each FODMAP. Throughout the study period, daily symptom severity (0–10 point numerical rating system) was recorded. A mixed effect statistical analysis model was used.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div><span>Between 2018 and 2020, 45 subjects were enrolled.
