This study examines dietary patterns in patients with IBS and IBD in remission. Findings highlight low consumption of nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, nuts, and legumes, leading to insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals. The research recommends a shift from nutrient-focused evaluations to food group-based assessments for better dietary quality in managing functional gastrointestinal symptoms.
