Abstract
Dietary interventions, particularly low-FODMAP diets, are commonly recommended as initial therapy for irritable bowel syndrome; however, a significant proportion of patients respond suboptimally or are unable to comply with long-term dietary modification. If appropriate dietary therapy has failed, pharmacological interventions should be targeted at the dominant symptoms. Psychological therapies may also be a useful adjunct.
