Low-FODMAP Diet for Endometriosis Pain and Bowel Symptoms
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a low-FODMAP diet (a way of eating that limits certain hard-to-digest foods) can reduce pelvic pain, improve quality of life, and help bowel symptoms in women with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pain and digestive problems.
