Abstract

Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut–brain axis with a prevalence of 3.5% in Australia. The complexity of mechanisms underlying IBS means patients often respond poorly to treatment. There is encouraging evidence for the successful use of dietary strategies for short and long-term management of IBS.
