The purpose of this study is to examine quality of life (QOL) and dietary constituents in three subgroups of women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on the severity of their bloating symptoms. A secondary analysis of data from two studies of women with IBS (n = 183), ages 18 to 48, is performed. Measures include the Modified Flanagan Quality of Life Scale and a 3-day food record ( n = 95) and a daily symptom diary completed over a month. There are no differences in QOL and few differences in dietary intake, although women with the most severe bloating report less dietary intake of fructose ( p = .035) as compared with the women with less severe bloating symptoms. The findings suggest that women with IBS who experience moderate to severe bloating symptoms may not reduce their dietary intake except fructose.
本研究的目的是根据腹胀症状的严重程度，对三组患有肠易激综合征（IBS）的女性的生活质量（QOL）和饮食成分进行研究。对两项针对18至48岁IBS女性的研究（n = 183）的数据进行了二次分析。测量指标包括改良的弗拉纳根生活质量量表、一份3天的饮食记录（n = 95）以及一份为期一个月的每日症状日记。生活质量方面没有差异，饮食摄入量方面差异也很少，不过与腹胀症状较轻的女性相比，腹胀最严重的女性报告的果糖饮食摄入量较少（p = 0.035）。研究结果表明，经历中度至重度腹胀症状的IBS女性，除了果糖外，可能不会减少饮食摄入量。
