Ehealth monitoring in irritable bowel syndrome patients treated with low fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols diet

Figure 1 Patient self-managed web-based registry of irritable bowel syndrome symptom severity score during twelve weeks. Y-axis: Irritable bowel syndrome symptom severity score (IBS-SSS) score which ranges from 0-500 points [Green: Remission and/or mild (0-175); yellow: Moderate disease severity (175-300); and red: Severe disease severity (> 300)]; X-axis: Control period (normal diet): week 1-6 and LFD period: week 7-12. FODMAP: Fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharide’s and polyols; LFD: Low FODMAP diet.

Figure 2 Box plot irritable bowel syndrome symptom severity score (median, range per week) during 12-wk in 19 irritable bowel syndrome patients. Y axis: IBS-SSS scores from 0-500 points; X axis: Week 1-12. Control period (normal diet): Week 1-6; LFD period: Week 7-12. FODMAP: Fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharide’s and polyols; LFD: Low FODMAP diet.

Y axis: Irritable bowel syndrome quality of life (IBS-QOL) scores from 170 (worst) to 34 (best) points; X axis: Week 1-12. Control (normal diet) period: Week 1-6; LFD period: Week 7-12. FODMAP: Fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharide’s and polyols; LFD: Low FODMAP diet.
