Audio. IBS news flash. Elimination diet based on immunoglobulin G (IgG)

The experimental diet eliminated foods based on a positive ELISA result.

A new study has found that an irritable bowel syndrome elimination diet based on a novel IBS–specific, immunoglobulin G (IgG) was superior to a sham diet for abdominal pain.

The study involved IBS patients testing positive for at least one food on 18-food IgG ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) testing.

The primary outcome was a 30% decrease in abdominal pain intensity for 2 of the last 4 weeks of treatment.

The overall study population had a mean age of about 40 years, and more than three-quarters were female. The 3 IBS types – constipation-predominant (IBS-C), diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D), and mixed bowel habits-predominant (IBS-M) – accounted for about a third each in both arms.

The experimental diet eliminated foods based on a positive ELISA result.
