Gut microbial communities from children with irritable bowel syndrome before and after exposure to the FODMAPS (low fermentable substrate) diet. Metagenome

Gut (fecal) microbial communities from children (ages 7-16) with irritable bowel syndrome were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Communities were characterized at baseline and after exposure to the FODMAPS (low fermentable substrate) diet.
