The RDN that counsels Mrs. Clarke discusses the use of an elimination diet. How may this be used to treat Mrs. Clarke's IBS?
What will be an ideal response?
• Elimination diets are used to determine certain foods that may be contributing to IBS symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, etc.
• These diets eliminate all possible foods related to the patient's symptoms. These may be common foods containing substances that have adverse effects such as lactose. Other common eliminations are fructose and sugar alcohols. Use of typical high-FODMAP foods may help guide the process.
• Each food is added back one at a time to see which foods are associated with the onset of IBS symptoms.
