| Core Tip |
Diet seems to be one of the most important triggering factor for functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). In fact, patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or functional dyspepsia frequently report the onset of symptoms after a meal or the consumption of certain types of foods. The Mediterranean (MD) diet is universally considered a health-promoting dietary regimen, since populations adopting this type of diet exhibit a lower rate of major cardiovascular, neoplastic, metabolic morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence supports a beneficial effect of MD on the gastrointestinal tract, although the association between a high adherence to MD and FGID symptoms is still unclear. |
