Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disease associated with changes in bowel habits characterized by unexplained abdominal discomfort or pain. Common symptoms of the disease include gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and common gastrointestinal problems associated with psychosocial problems. IBS makes it difficult for patients to attend school and work, reduce productivity, increase healthcare costs and negatively affect quality of life. Although IBS is not a life-threatening disease, it is a condition that must be tackled throughout life. The disease is clinically managed through dietary interventions and appropriate lifestyle changes, and pharmacological symptom-targeted or psychological treatments. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of different dietary treatment methods on patients 'severity symptom score and quality of life, and the patients' compliance with different dietary treatments.
