    The low-FODMAP diet is effective for IBS but shows variable patient responses, necessitating precision nutrition approaches.

  • 2

    Baseline microbial ecology can help predict dietary response in IBS, but taxonomic features alone are insufficient for consistent outcomes.

  • 3

    Functional readouts, including metabolites and volatile signatures, provide better insights into symptom mechanisms than taxonomic data.

  • 4

    Clinical deployment of microbiome-informed strategies is hindered by endpoint heterogeneity and the need for robust validation.

  • 5

    Progress in IBS treatment will rely on harmonized responder endpoints, adherence measurement, and biologically interpretable decision rules.
