Symptom response DOMINO app and low FODMAP diet

The symptom response is measured by the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS). In this questionnaire, each question (5) is scored from 0-100, with a maximum total score of 500. Improvement is defined as a 50-point or more drop on the IBS-SSS. The score is positively correlated with severity of IBS symptoms, a score from 50-175 indicated mild disease, 175-300 moderate and \>300 severe.
