Despite the prevalence of IBS, its etiology and pathophysiology are still to be fully understood, but immune response is known to be involved. In this study, we investigated the variation of two specific cytokines, B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF), the levels of food-specific IgG and the symptom severity, using Irritable Bowel Syndrome—Symptom Severity Score (IBS-SSS), following a personalized and unrestricted-calorie diet.
