Figure 2 Changes in relative abundance of selected bacterial genera according to 16S rRNA sequencing. (A) Change in relative abundance of Bifidobacteria for low FODMAP diet (LFD) vs sham diet (P = .0027) and probiotic vs placebo (P = .3549). (B) Change in relative abundance of Streptococcus species for low FODMAP diet vs sham diet (P = .1141) and probiotic vs placebo (P = .00017). (C) Change in relative abundance of Lactobacillus species for low FODMAP diet vs sham diet (P = .5782) and probiotic vs placebo (P = .9521) (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, FDR correction). The central line indicates the median, the box indicates the 25th and 75th percentiles and the whiskers indicate 1.5× interquartile range. LFD, low FODMAP diet.
