Hobday RA et al. - A low sugar low yeast (LSLY) diet is no more efficacious on levels of fatigue or QoL compared to healthy eating (HE) in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Moreover, keeping in view the difficulty with dietary compliance experienced by participants, it would appear HE guidance is a more pragmatic approach. Methods
Aim was to determine the efficacy of dietary intervention on level of fatigue and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with CFS
A 24-wk randomized intervention study in pts (n=52) diagnosed with CFS
Pts were randomized to either a LSLY or healthy eating HE dietary interventions
Primary outcome measures were fatigue and QoL
Results
A high drop out rate occurred with 13 participants not completing the final evaluation (7HE/6LSLY)
Intention to treat analysis showed no statistically significant differences on primary outcome measurements
