Our findings from this small-scaled pilot study indicate that the LFD may alleviate symptoms and improve HRQOL in patients with RE. Further controlled studies with larger sample size should be conducted to verify our results and hopefully enable implementation of LFD as a future part of the management strategy for RE.
