Funded Activity Summary

Irritable bowel syndrome occurs in one in seven Australian adults. Crohn's disease affects 0.2% of the population. Both conditions affect the young and productive members of our society and are characterised by lower abdominal pain, bloating, wind and altered bowel habit. Our team has identified dietary triggers that may be responsible for the induction of symptoms in the majority of patients. These triggers involve a group of carbohydrates (FODMAPs) that are found in a wide variety of food.
