Is that not intuitive? Eating less puts less strain on your irritable digestive system. I bet a study on back pain would find that carrying less weight would help, too.

Like, it's good to confirm these hypotheses with science, but is it news?

    It sounds like they only ate less for 5 days of the month though, and felt better over the whole month. I wouldn't have expected that at least, so kinda interesting?

    Lots of people find incorrect things intuitive despite them being incorrect.

    Studies that confirm things, especially in a variety of people, are always good.
