In this study, 346 IBS and 170 healthy folks completed a diet checklist. 171 IBS and 98 healthy folks gave stool samples that were analyzed. Well, I assume they gave the samples. Perhaps they were taken?
"IBS participants on an exclusion or restrictive diet reported more severe IBS symptoms". This doesn't explain if the symptoms cause folks to eat a more restrictive diet or if the restrictive diet was causing more severe symptoms. The only thing the authors were able to conclude was that what people eat has an impact on fecal microbiota.
This seems to be an awfully obvious conclusion to me. Although I suppose it is important to recognize that IN FACT what we eat does truly impact our gut flora. In case there was any doubt that the cheeseburger and beer are not doing anybody's body any good, including the helpful little guys living in our digestive systems.
