Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastroenterological diseases. Previous studies have shown that dietary components were associated with the severity of symptoms. Likewise, those components can induce changes in gut microbiota. The aim for the present study was to assess the abundance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium by RT‐PCR after 30 days of consumption a low FODMAP diet. Participants (n=14), were selected using ROMA III criteria, symptoms were measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Fecal samples were collected and bacterial DNA was extracted. After 30 days of intervention, Bifidobacterium account increased (p=0.095) and correlates negatively with Abdominal Pain (AP), Constipation (Cp) and Flatulence/Bloating (FB) (p=0.007, p=0.095, p=0.043 respectively); Lactobacillus account was not significant different after FODMAP diet consumption . AP, Cp and FB had a significant reduction (p=0.010, p=0.000, p=0.000) after diet consumption. There was no correlation in anthropometric parameters with bacteria abundance. In conclusion a low FODMAPs diet can modify Bifidobacterium abundance and can improve abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence and bloating in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
