FRIDAY, August 28-people with a chronic condition known as syndrome of irritable bowels can find relief from consumes soluble fiber (psyllium).
But they will not release--and perhaps more bowel compromise--of bran, a new Dutch study found.
IBS, which includes chronic Abdominal discomfort and irregular bowel habits, affects about 1 in 10 Americans. Some experts have expressed an opinion, increased intake of dietary fiber, but the data on the effectiveness of this approach is limited.
In the study, published online August 28 in the BMJ team at the University of Utrecht Medical Center is 275 adult patients with IBS consumed or 10 g of psyllium (soluble fibre), Bran (insoluble fiber) or placebo twice daily for three months. They examine patients symptoms of one, two and three months, including abdominal pain and quality of life.
Researchers find psyllium most effective in the treatment of IBS. After three months of follow-up taking psyllium people have declined 90 point symptom severity, medium. This compared with 58-point drop among such as bran and 49-point release for those taking a placebo. While the severity of the symptom is formalities, researchers found no difference between the groups in respect of abdominal pain or the quality of life.
Bran showed "clinically relevant benefit, the researchers said in the message for the press. In fact many patients unable to tolerate bran and this group experienced the highest percentage of dropout.
These findings suggest that psyllium, but not bran may be useful first treatment approach to manage IBS, said researchers, while bran can help--or even may--the condition.
