Key clinical point: This meta-analysis found insufficient evidence on the beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms; however, supplementation with vitamin D significantly improved the quality of life (QoL) in patients with IBS.
Major finding: Patients receiving vitamin D supplementation showed a significant improvement in IBS-QoL scores compared with those receiving placebo (mean difference 6.19; P = .04). However, IBS-Severity Scoring System scores were not significantly different between the treatment arms.
Study details: The data come from a systematic review and meta-analysis articles of 6 randomized control studies including 616 participants.
Disclosures: This study received no external funding. No conflicts of interest were declared.
