Title: Fructose malabsorption and fructan malabsorption are associated in patients with irritable
bowel syndrome
Version: 2 Date: 05 Oct 2023
Reviewer:  Danilo Consalvo
Reviewer's report:
The topic is very interesting and little covered in literature but: The introduction to the article
begins with a main topic other than the title, the description of IBS and the fodmap diet must
be part of the discussion. The first topic must be the news regarding fructose malabsorption and
fructan intolerancee and second topic must be the methods for diagnosing them, table 1 on the
literature review is only cited and not commented on. Just one outcome is reductive, there should
be at least two. The result on the correlation between HBTs positivity for fructose and fructan
would make more sense if compared also on non-IBS patients.
