    Background: The low-FODMAP diet is a frequently used treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Most research has focused on short-term FODMAP restriction; however, guidelines recommend that high-FODMAP foods are reintroduced to individual tolerance. This study aimed to assess the long-term effectiveness of the low-FODMAP diet following FODMAP reintroduction in IBS patients. Methods: Patients with IBS were prospectively recruited to a questionnaire study following completion of dietitian-led low-FODMAP education. At baseline and following FODMAP restriction (short term) only, gastrointestinal symptoms were measured as part of routine clinical care. Following FODMAP reintroduction, (long term), symptoms, dietary intake, acceptability, food-related quality of life (QOL), and healthcare utilization were assessed. Data were reported for patients who continued long-term FODMAP restriction (adapted FODMAP) and/or returned to a habitual diet (habitual). Key Results: Of 103 patients, satisfactory relief of symptoms was reported in 12% at baseline, 61% at short-term follow-up, and 57% at long-term follow-up. At long-term follow-up, 84 (82%) patients continued an ‘adapted FODMAP’ diet (total FODMAP intake mean 20.6, SD 14.9\ua0g/d) compared with 19 (18%) of patients following a ‘habitual’ diet (29.4, SD 22.9\ua0g/d, P=.039). Nutritional adequacy was not compromised for either group. The ‘adapted FODMAP’ group reported the diet cost significantly more than the ‘habitual’ group (

    <p>The difference in PCR cycle times (ΔCt) for cDNAs for (n) liver biopsy samples divided by rs3745274 (<i>CYP2B6*6</i>) and rs3786552 genotype, as dictated by the optimum model predicting ΔCt (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0079700#pone-0079700-t004" target="_blank">Table 4</a>). Relative expression, ΔCt, was determined by subtracting the Ct value of the PCR reaction using primers ‘2/3F’ and ‘4R’ from the Ct value of the PCR reaction using primers ‘2/3F’ and ‘3/3AB R’ (Fig. 4). The boxplot provides a summary of the data distribution. The box represents the interquartile range, which includes 50% of values. The line across the box indicates the median. The whisker lines extend to the highest and lowest values that are within 1.5x the interquartile range. Further outliers are marked with circles.</p

    The ratio of allele-specific gene expression (ΔCt) for cDNAs from rs3211371 (<i>CYP2B6*5</i>) heterozygous liver biopsy samples.

    <p>Samples, excluding rs2279343 heterozygotes, are either heterozygous (CT) at rs8100458 (C/*5, n = 5), or rs8100458 TT homozygotes (T/*5, n = 4). ΔCt differs significantly by genotype (p = 0.025). Relative expression, ΔCt, was determined by subtracting the smaller Ct value of one allele PCR reaction from the larger Ct value of the other allele PCR reaction normalized against the average ratio obtained from gDNAs for each genotype. The boxplot provides a summary of the data distribution. The box represents the interquartile range, which includes 50% of values. The line across the box indicates the median. The whisker lines extend to the highest and lowest values that are within 1.5x the interquartile range. Further outliers are marked with circles.</p
