Online Low-FODMAP Diet in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Participants were invited to follow the online low-FODMAP diet offered by SOSCuisine®, characterized by three specific features. First, participants received customized weekly low-FODMAP menus based on the Monash University protocol. Second, a virtual assistant accompanied participants from the beginning to the end of the diet implementation, providing personalized recommendations tailored to individual's preferences and intensity of symptoms. For the reintroduction phase, the assistant guided individuals through the process of testing specific FODMAP subgroups, offering food suggestions based on individual preferences, and portion sizes. The last feature of the platform was the access to a peer support group on Facebook©, designed to foster communication among participants. This group allowed individuals to ask questions and receive valid answers, as the group was moderated by a FODMAP-specialized registered dietitian.
