Those with symptoms which significantly reduced during the elimination diet, but reliably reappeared (a mean change in overall dyspeptic symptoms of >30%) with gluten or fructan re-challenge were deemed to have wheat induced FD. Results: Eleven participants were enrolled in the study (75% female, mean age 43 years). Of the initial cohort, nine participants completed the elimination diet phase of whom four qualified for the rechallenge phase. The gluten-free, low FODMAP diet led to an overall (albeit non-significant) improvement in symptoms of functional dyspepsia in the diet elimination phase (mean NDI symptom score 71.2 vs. 47.1, p = 0.087). A specific food trigger could not be reliably demonstrated. Conclusions: Although a gluten-free, low-FODMAP diet led to a modest overall reduction in symptoms in this cohort of FD patients, a specific trigger could not be identified. The modified Salerno criteria for NCG/WS identification trialled in this dietary rechallenge protocol was fit-for-purpose.

The decrease in ML permeability varied amongst the MLs. Chelating agents reduce intestinal absorption of MLs by forming complexes thereby making them less permeable. In the case of gut bacteria, the decrease in the intestinal permeability of MLs may be associated to a direct protection of the intestinal barrier against the MLs or indirect intestinal ML sequestration by the gut bacteria through adsorption on bacterial surface. Thus, both gut microbes and chelating agents can be used to decrease the intestinal permeability of MLs, thereby mitigating their toxicity.]]> Mon 19 Sep 2022 11:35:28 AEST ]]> Differential toxicity of potentially toxic elements to human gut microbes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51765 Cd > Pb > As(III)>As(V) for E. coli; and Hg > Cd > As(III)>Pb > As(V) for the two Lactobacillus sp.

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 8 weeks of treatment with the herbal combination product STW 5-II for patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) meeting Rome II criteria. We also conducted a post hoc analysis including patients meeting Rome IV criteria for FD and evaluated the effect of the G-protein beta 3 (GNB3) subunit polymorphism (C825T) on therapeutic response. Methods: This multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study included 272 FD patients meeting Rome II criteria in the intention-to-treat cohort and 266 meeting Rome IV criteria. We used the validated Gastrointestinal Symptom Score (GIS) to assess GI symptoms, defining response rate as the proportion of patients with ≥50% GIS improvement in at least three of four assessments. Results: After 8 weeks, the response rate was significantly higher in the STW 5-II group versus placebo (61.2% vs 45.1%, P = 0.008). Mean GIS non-significantly improved with STW 5-II treatment (7.9 ± 4.41 vs 6.7 ± 4.91 with placebo; P = 0.07). In the Rome IV subgroup analysis, STW 5-II yielded a better response rate (P = 0.01) versus placebo and greater postprandial distress symptom improvement (P = 0.04) versus placebo.

However, the quality of evidence is low largely due to clinical heterogeneity of the studies. Thus, causality is uncertain and further studies are required.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:29:23 AEDT ]]> High Discovery Rate of Duodenal and Gastric Eosinophilia in Patients With Unexplained Moderate–Severe Abdominal Symptoms: A Prospective US Multisite Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52808 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:20:34 AEDT ]]> Ileocolonic histopathological and microbial alterations in the irritable bowel syndrome: a nested community case-control study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39241 P = 0.022 adjusted for age, sex, and smoking). Cecal IELs were increased in IBS—diarrhea (relative risk ratio = 2.03, 95% confidence interval 1.13–3.63, P = 0.017). No difference was observed in alpha diversity of MaM or fecal microbiota based on IEL count. There was no difference in beta diversity of the MaM according to IEL count in the terminal ileal (TI) (P = 0.079). High TI IEL counts associated with a significant expansion of the genus Blautia (P = 0.024) and unclassified Clostridiales (P = 0.036) in colon MaM. Discussion: A modest but significant increase in IELs was observed in IBS vs. controls in a population-based setting. Subtle TI and cecal inflammation may play a pathogenic role in IBS but needs confirmation. Modest but discernible differences in the colonic MaM were seen according to TI IEL count but not IBS status.]]> Fri 27 May 2022 14:39:27 AEST ]]> Gut microbes modulate bioaccessibility of lead in soil https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39212 Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Escherichia coli. Lead toxicity to these three microbes was also examined at various pH values. Bioaccessibility of Pb was measured using gastric and intestinal extractions. Both Pb spiked and Pb-contaminated shooting range field soils were used to measure Pb bioaccessibility in the presence and absence of gut microbes. The results indicated that Pb toxicity to gut microbes, as measured by LD50 value, decreased with increasing pH, and was higher for Lactobacillus species. Gut microbes decreased the bioaccessible Pb; the effect was more pronounced at low pH, mimicking gastric conditions than in conditions closer to the intestine. Lead adsorption by these microbes increased at the higher pH tested, and E. coli adsorbed higher amounts of Pb than did the Lactobacillus species. The effect of gut microbes on reducing Pb bioaccessibility may be attributed to microbially-induced immobilization of Pb through adsorption, precipitation, and complexation reactions. The study demonstrates that bioaccessibility and subsequently bioavailability of metal(loid)s can be modulated by gut microbes, and it is important to undertake bioaccessibility measurements in the presence of gut microbes.]]> Fri 27 May 2022 11:09:22 AEST ]]> Clusters of community-dwelling individuals empirically derived from stool diaries correspond with clinically meaningful outcomes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49999 Fri 23 Jun 2023 11:40:47 AEST ]]> Concentrations of Plasma Amino Acids and Neurotransmitters in Participants with Functional Gut Disorders and Healthy Controls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51947 Fri 22 Sep 2023 17:06:11 AEST ]]> Does the microbiome play a role in the pathogenesis of colonic diverticular disease?

We characterized gastric microbiota by describing the normal stomach, compared it with early precancerous lesions and other disease states, and assessed whether H. pylori status affects bacterial diversity. Methods: In a population-based study of those with and without gastrointestinal symptoms, cytology brush samples were collected during endoscopy from 316 individuals. Mucosal status was classified as normal mucosa (171), nonatrophic H. pylori gastritis (33), atrophic gastritis (12), or antral chemical gastritis (61). The 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analysis were performed to characterize the microbiota. Results: Microbiota in atrophic gastritis and nonatrophic H. pylori gastritis stomachs were dysbiotic and differed from those in the normal stomach (P = 0.001). The normal stomach had the highest microbial diversity, followed by antral chemical gastritis. The atrophic gastritis and chronic H. pylori gastritis groups had the lowest diversity, a difference that was statistically significant (P = 0.01). Besides H. pylori, non–H. pylori bacteria accounted for group differences. Microbial network analysis showed that the normal group network was most highly connected, whereas the H. pylori gastritis group had the lowest connection. We found an increasing positive co-occurrence of oral bacteria in the stomach because samples deviated from the normal network, some of which were pathogens. The H. pylori–negative group had the highest microbial diversity (Shannon index) compared with the H. pylori–positive group (P = 0.001). Discussion: In this low–H. pylori prevalence general population, the gastric mucosal microbiota of the normal stomach differed significantly from those with nonatrophic or atrophic gastritis. There was an increasing abundance of pathogenic bacteria from the normal state to early precancerous states.]]> Fri 15 Jul 2022 10:16:11 AEST ]]> Duodenal eosinophilia and the link to anxiety: A population-based endoscopic study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49401 Fri 12 May 2023 14:41:29 AEST ]]> Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth in Functional Dyspepsia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49370 Fri 12 May 2023 13:38:14 AEST ]]> No distinct microbiome signature of irritable bowel syndrome found in a Swedish random population https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46130 Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:21:48 AEDT ]]> Pharmacists' confidence in managing patients with inflammatory bowel disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36857 Fri 10 Jul 2020 19:14:46 AEST ]]> Irritable bowel syndrome and risk of glaucoma: An analysis of two independent population-based cohort studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49881 Fri 09 Jun 2023 10:36:37 AEST ]]> Routine assessment of gastrointestinal symptom using a validated questionnaire in the clinical setting to assess the probability of organic or functional gastrointestinal diseases https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49104 Fri 05 May 2023 11:32:06 AEST ]]> The role of mood state and emotion regulation in the discrepancy between gastrointestinal symptom burden recorded prospectively and via recall questionnaire https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45748 Fri 04 Nov 2022 10:26:56 AEDT ]]> Functional dyspepsia and food: immune overlap with food sensitivity disorders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39978 Fri 01 Jul 2022 09:58:32 AEST ]]>
