A Tritordeum-Based Diet for Female Patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Effects on Abdominal Bloating and Psychological Symptoms
Most female patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) complain of abdominal bloating rather than abdominal pain and diarrhea. The higher incidence in women could be due to the so-called dysfunctional gas handling. Since diet seems the most effective and durable strategy for managing IBS symptoms,...

description | Most female patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) complain of abdominal bloating rather than abdominal pain and diarrhea. The higher incidence in women could be due to the so-called dysfunctional gas handling. Since diet seems the most effective and durable strategy for managing IBS symptoms, we aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12 week diet based on a relatively new cereal, Tritordeum (TBD), on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, anthropometric and bioelectrical impedance parameters, and psychological profiles in 18 diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) female patients with abdominal bloating as the dominant symptom. The IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised, the Italian version of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, and the IBS-Quality of Life questionnaire were administered. The TBD reduces the IBS-SSS “Intensity of abdominal bloating” with a concomitant improvement in the anthropometric profile. No correlation was found between “Intensity of abdominal bloating” and “Abdominal circumference”. Anxiety, depression, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, and phobic and avoidance manifestations were significantly reduced after TBD. Lastly, anxiety was correlated with “Intensity of abdominal bloating”. Overall, these results suggest the possibility of lowering abdominal bloating and improving the psychological profile of female IBS-D patients using a diet based on an alternative grain such as Tritordeum. |
