“Mediterranean Diet and the Gut Microbiome”
This study will evaluate the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet on microbiome diversity compared to a typical American diet. The study will observe the microbiome composition comparisons in healthy volunteers as well as in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) to see if the consumption of a Mediterranean-style diet has a positive effect on improving symptoms of IBS-D.
