Filter by:Food and their components are often reported as gastrointestinal (GI) symptom triggers in patients with IBS. The current interest in dietary management in IBS, has largely focused on the negative effect of poorly absorbed and subsequently fermented carbohydrates (FODMAP - Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols). These unabsorbed carbohydrates can generate GI symptoms through osmosis, with increased amount of fluid in the gut lumen, and via modification of gut microbiota composition and function (fermentation and production of gas). Studies assessing diets low in FODMAPs have shown promising results in symptom improvement in some IBS patients, but not in all. The low FODMAP diet, as it is used today, is restrictive and difficult for patients to accommodate in their daily life. Moreover, the effect of this diet on microbiota composition and function is not defined, and there are also concerns that restrictive diets may lead to nutritional inadequacy. Fructan is a specific FODMAP which is built of fructose polymers. Examples of foods that contain fructans are wheat, onion, garlic and banana. The daily dietary intake of fructans varies approximately between 3 and 6 grams. Fructans are potential triggers of GI symptoms in IBS however, they are currently also used as prebiotic supplements. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that low dosages of fructans do not worsen GI symptoms, but they do increase the beneficial bifidobacteria. It remains unclear whether the potential benefits of fructans outweigh the potential harmful effects in patients with IBS. The investigators are aiming to assess the effects of fructans, as well as predictive factors and mechanisms involved, and to compare with placebo in IBS patients. The investigators will assess GI symptom severity, visceral sensitivity, intestinal gas production, gut immunity and microbiota, and metabolites produced in the gut.
Evaluation of the physiological and clinical effects of the biofeedback training with patients suffering from somatoform disorders, depending on their neurovegetative profile related to a visceral-brain decoupling.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of fiber supplementation on the fecal metagenome and metabolome in relation to symptoms and anorectal physiology in post-menopausal women with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea suffering from liquid stool fecal incontinence (FI.)
Role of parasitic infection in Inflammatory bowel disease and Irritable bowel The burden of the parasitic disease is in-direct relation with the health and nutritional status of the host, inducing not only parasite-specific immunity but also can modify the host's immune responses . Many parasites can imitate inflammatory bowel disorders and some studies showed that infection with parasites can improve disorders like IBD or moderate the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disorders . Even though, many studies have shown that gastrointestinal infection is an important risk factor for the development of IBS
The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effect of a probiotic mixture on the adequate relief and faecal microbiota in obese patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is very common functional gastrointestinal disorder in daily gastrointestinal practice. Its etiology is multifactorial and incompletely understood. Different types of treatment have been trying but no single drug is effective for every patients. After the discovery of 5HT4(5 hydroxytryptamine-4) receptor and its effect on gastrointestinal motility, 5HT4 receptor agonist becoming a good therapeutic tool in different functional gastrointestinal disorder. Prucalopride is a selective 5HT4 agonist and it has proven benefit in chronic idiopathic constipation but there is not enough evidence that it is effective in constipation predominant IBS. Objective: To assess the efficacy of Prucalopride in constipation predominant IBS patients. Material & method: Consecutive patients of both sexes, age more than 18 years attended the outpatient department of Gastroenterology meeting the inclusion Criteria of IBS-C will be initially enrolled for the study. Their clinical history, examination & initial investigations report will be noted on the standard data sheet. Any alternative diagnosis if proven by clinical examination or laboratory investigation will be excluded from the study. Randomization into two groups (Prucalopride and placebo) will be performed by lottery. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either Prucalopride 2 mg or placebo for 6 weeks. IBS symptoms will be assessed by IBS-SSS (symptom severity score) and IBS-QOL(quality of life) at the baseline, 2nd week and 6th week of treatment (end of treatment). Any adverse effect due to drugs will also be monitored by base line ECG, calculation of corrected QT interval and ECG monitoring (2 weeks and 6 weeks) during the course of treatment. Data analysis By SPSS. IBS-SSS and IBS-QOL instrument scores will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Statistical analysis will be done by paired and unpaired 't' test. P value <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Ethical Consideration: Every ethical issue will be discussed with the patient regarding the study and informed written consent will be obtained. There will be no chance of disclosure of information that will have been harmful to the patients or others. Permission have been taken from the concerned departmental ethical committee as well as ethical review committee of BSMMU in order to carry out the study.
The prevalence of migraine is higher in female patients with various intestinal diseases. An explanation could be that migraine is caused by a leaky gut, defined by increased intestinal permeability that permits particles to pass through the gastrointestinal wall. Probiotics, may be able to improve intestinal barrier function. OBJECTIVE: To test whether probiotics, as adjucnt therapy, can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks by reducing intestinal permeability.
This cohort study implements patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients with bodily stress syndrome in a clinic for functional disorders.
We will perform a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to establish whether calcium butyrate relieves symptoms in children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The direct effects of butyrate on inflammation and GI symptoms will be studied in children with IBS. The design used to study the effects of calcium butyrate will be a double blind randomized placebo-controlled parallel design.
Develop a registry (list of patients) with accurate clinical motility diagnosis. This registry will help the doctors to identify the patients with specific disease conditions. It will also help in promoting future research in gastroenterology motility disorders
