Published Clinical Studies
Three clinical studies have been published focusing on
patients following their YGM Personal Diet Guide.
Personalised Diet compared to Low
FODMAP - American Journal of Gastroenterology
A low FODMAP diet has long been considered the gold
standard dietary intervention for IBS patients. Our
randomised clinical study compared performance of a YGM
personalised diet to low FODMAP. The study found the
YGM diet to be less restrictive, and more effective in
symptom relief than low FODMAP. This included a 2 X
greater reduction in pain severity and abdominal distention,
whilst naturally rebalancing the gut microbiome.
IBS Study - Journal of Clinical Medicine
Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition that is estimated to affect 20% of people in the UK. Patients following their Personal Diet Guide for a period of 6 weeks saw on average an 82% improvement in their IBS symptoms. This included an average of 4x reduction in IBS-SSS and 5x reduction in pain severity.
Constipation Study - Gut Microbes Journal
Constipation is estimated to affect 16% of the population under the age of
60. Up to 33% of adults age 60 and above are estimated to be affected by constipation. Patients that followed their
Personal Diet Guide in a clinical study saw an 83% improvement in their constipation. Patients also realised an average of x2.5 improvement in ‘Complete Bowel Movements per week (CBMpW).
