Abstract

We have read with interest Dr Jane Muir's and Dr Marina Iacovou's editorial1 accompanying our randomised trial on yoga vs a low-FODMAP diet in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).2 The low-FODMAP diet needs from our experience well trained dietitians and individual counselling to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Even if Staudacher et al could show that a 10-min dietary instruction for a low FODMAP diet produced benefits in 57% of patients,3 we have to claim serious doubts that 10 minutes are sufficient to counsel patients on an individual basis to avoid nutritional imbalances under a restricted diet such as the low-FODMAP diet. Especially if patients had not received general advise on a healthy diet before. Further taken the identification of high risk patients (eg, history of eating disorders) into account to determine contraindication of a low-FODMAP diet, a session of 10 minutes cannot be justified for a safe approach of delivering the low-FODMAP diet to patients.
