Dieta restrita em FODMAPS no tratamento de sintomas das doenças inflamatórias intestinais e síndrome do intestino irritável

Abstract

Introduction: The Lowfodmap diet is a strategy for treating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases and irritable bowel syndrome by reducing the consumption of fermentable carbohydrates, which can trigger diarrhea, gas, abdominal colic and reduce the quality of life of individuals. Objective: To investigate the effect of a diet low in FODMAPs on the reduction of symptoms in individuals with IBD and IBS. Method: Systematic literature review carried out in the MEDLINE, PUBMED and BVS databases, using the descriptors “lowfodmap diet”, “inflammatory bowel syndrome” and “intestinal bowel diesease” and the filters “clinical trial” and “randomized controlled trial”, considering articles published in the last 10 years. Results: 10 clinical trials were selected for this review and among them, 5 studies observed a reduction in the formation of gases, 8 verified a decrease in abdominal cramps, 7 showed positive results of the diet in the improvement of diarrhea and 2 in the quality of life. Conclusion: The groups that underwent intervention consuming a diet restricted in fermentable carbohydrates showed improvement in the classic symptoms of IBD and IBS. The individuals adhered to the proposed dietary pattern during the studies, supposedly due to the short time of the biological assay.
