Some thing they forgot to mention in the Healio article that was stated in the abstract was the the "traditional diet" has many high FODMAP foods removed. And the Monash group also recommends removing/reducing common IBS triggers too. So the findings make sense  In fact if the researcher has use the 'traditional' diet with the full FODMAP diet the results would have been more in-line with the published findings of 70-80% of IBS suffers noticing an improvement
"Traditional IBS diet imply small, frequent meals, to peel and divide foods into pieces, chew thoroughly, boil food, reduce fatty and spicy foods, legumes, onions, coffee and alcohol. Carbonated beverages and sweeteners that end with –ol should be avoided. "

It will be interesting to see the full details on the "traditional" diet if the results of the presentation at the conference are ever published. I suspect that many more high FODMAP foods were removed besides those stated in the abstract of the presentation such as high fructose corn syrup and other foods with excess fructose (e.g. honey, pears, apples, etc)
