| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 6 7 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder of gut–brain interaction characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits, in the absence of identifiable structural abnormalities []. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | Early studies reported SIBO in up to 60–78% of IBS cases based on lactulose breath testing [,,], though later investigations using more rigorous methods found lower prevalences (e.g., 4–20%) [,]. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | Moreover, increasing evidence implicating the gut microbiota in IBS/SIBO has spurred interest in interventions that modulate microbial communities. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | It affects an estimated 5–10% of the global population and is more common in women, imposing a significant burden on quality of life and healthcare resources []. | 3 | Šuran Jelena (2026) | IBS and SIBO: Gut Microbiota, Pathophysiology, and Non-Pharmacological Interventions |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | Among dietary interventions, the most consistent clinical evidence supports the use of soluble fiber (e.g., psyllium), kiwifruit or prunes, and magnesium- or sulfate-rich mineral waters to improve stool frequency and consistency. | 4 | Ribichini E (2026) | Dietary strategies for chronic constipation: smartly targeting hormonal and reflex pathways for optimal recovery. |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | Chronic constipation (CC) is a common disorder of gut-brain interaction that markedly impairs quality of life and remains challenging to manage. | 4 | Ribichini E (2026) | Dietary strategies for chronic constipation: smartly targeting hormonal and reflex pathways for optimal recovery. |
| Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum Constipation Randomized Trial | Despite the availability of laxatives and prosecretory agents, up to half of patients experience suboptimal relief, underscoring the need for complementary, physiology-based nutritional strategies. | 4 | Ribichini E (2026) | Dietary strategies for chronic constipation: smartly targeting hormonal and reflex pathways for optimal recovery. |
