I cant speak for other diets but I follow low fodmap diet as I suffer from IBS. I always assumed that I was prescribed that diet to influence the gut bacteria. I mean the bacteria ferment on high fodmap foods and bloat and distend your stomach.

Talking about low fodmap specifically I wouldnt call it fad as it has been and is being researched and has shown to be effective to help with IBS, maybe not so much for other conditions.

Personally I have found it helpful in reducing the symptoms that I have.

I don't know about this guy. I got that link from quackwatch.

Keto is working for me to treat AS specifically for this reason. Had to experiment a long time to find the right diet. If I stray I flare up pretty quickly.
