Does Cutting Out Gluten Help with IBS? Here’s What Science Says
The debate over gluten and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is still ongoing.
Does a gluten-free diet (GFD) actually help reduce symptoms, or is it just another trend?
A recent meta-analysis, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, reviewed the evidence to find out.
What Did They Find?
Going gluten-free didn’t significantly improve overall symptoms, bloating, or quality of life for most IBS patients.
There was a slight reduction in abdominal pain, but the data isn’t conclusive.
More than 4 weeks on a GFD showed symptom relief in some cases, but it wasn’t more effective than the Low FODMAP Diet (LFD), which had clearer benefits.
So, Is It Worth Eliminating Gluten?
There isn’t enough evidence to recommend it for all IBS patients.
Some people might benefit, but we don’t yet know who.
More research is needed to determine which factors (gut microbiome, inflammation, individual sensitivity) influence response to a gluten-free diet.
If you have IBS, trying a Low FODMAP Diet first is the best approach
If symptoms persist after 4 weeks, a gluten elimination trial might be worth considering—ideally with professional guidance.
