Filter by:Butyrate has recently gained attention as an important microbial compound in human colon health. Several diseases, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), have been linked with a loss of butyrate in the colon resulting in the hypothesis that butyrate is important for disease resistance. However, despite a plethora of preclinical evidence about butyrate's role in colon health, data from human studies are insufficient, largely due to the lack of available tools for colon-specific butyrate delivery and sampling. This project will elucidate butyrate's mode of action in the human colon and its implications for gut functioning in IBS and healthy participants by employing a unique in vivo human setting. Specifically, the regulatory capacity of butyrate on intestinal barrier function and the transcriptional host responses that are associated with an increase of butyrate in the colon will be determined. Moreover, butyrate's role as a signalling molecule for gut hormones and serotonin release will be studied.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional bowel disorder that imposes a considerable burden on health-related quality of life (QOL) worldwide. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder affecting 7-21% of the general population. IBS with predominant constipation (IBS-C) is a subtype of IBS that accounts for more than a third of the IBS diagnosed. The study Sponsor, Devintec SAGL, presents GA-AT0119, which acts by forming a mechanical barrier on the intestinal mucosa thanks to xyloglucan and pea proteins avoiding the increased intestinal permeability, bacterial invasion to intestinal tissues, and subsequent intestinal inflammation. The formulation of GA-AT0119 is completed with chia seed powder which provides a laxative effect by retaining water in the intestine increasing stool bulk and accelerating fecal transit. There is increasing evidence that the pathophysiology of IBS is multifaceted involving mucosal inflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, microbial dysbiosis, dietary factors, and altered intestinal permeability (IP). Several studies have shown increased intestinal permeability in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Serum zonulin, a biomarker of impaired increased permeability, is increased in patients' constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome compared to a healthy population and the levels are comparable to celiac disease.
The aim of this study is to determine the impact of a 10-day treatment with Lactichoc® on irritable bowel syndrome.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a highly prevalent disorder and consumes many health resources. Its physiopathogenesis is multifactorial. Some of the factors involved have to do with the alteration of the intestinal microbiota, low-grade inflammation and the alteration of intestinal permeability. Specific tannins have been shown to have prebiotic effects and could be useful in treating this condition. This is an exploratory before-after study that aims to evaluate the effect of a chestnut and quebracho extract on the symptoms of IBS diarrhea predominant, serum cytokine levels, microbiota and intestinal permeability, as well as on metabolomics.
To assess the effects of a Human Milk Oligosaccharide mix given once daily for 12 weeks on stool consistency and abdominal pain compared to placebo in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
This is an open-label observational crossover trial to study the efficacy of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on common symptoms of IBS (such as bloating, gas, heartburn, and other symptoms).
The aim of the present study is to compare the efficiency of low FODMAP and SSRD to reduce symptoms in IBS, and to study the mechanisms and consequences of the two diets.
Active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) causes disabling symptoms such as diarrhea, involuntary loss of bowel control, abdominal pain and urges to pass stool. However, even patients with inactive IBD frequently experience such symptoms. The cause is not well understood and the functionality of the bowel in IBD patients is underexplored. Earlier studies show a wide range of results, but most find that patients with IBD in remission are up to four times as likely to report gastrointestinal symptoms when compared to healthy controls. Chronic inflammation may cause changes of the bowel wall, like increased collagen deposits (fibrosis) and thus cause symptoms, but the absence of active inflammation in combination with presence of symptoms may also be regarded as resembling the clinical condition of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is characterized by abdominal pain and changes in stool frequency and consistence and is often associated with disorders like depression and anxiety. Up to a third of IBD patients without signs of disease activity meet the criteria for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome. It can be speculated that an IBD diagnosis is a distressing event that can induce mood disorders, and an IBS-like condition. Characterization of IBS patients relies on the Rome IV symptom criteria, symptom severity scales and measurements of rectal sensibility and rectal compliance using a barostat procedure. Motor function assessment relies on anorectal manometry which detects abnormalities of muscle function and coordination. Recently, a standardized high-resolution anorectal manometry protocol (HRAM) was published which also evaluates sensitivity and compliance. The level of agreement between the barostat method and the HRAM testing procedure regarding sensibility and rectal compliance is largely unknown. Recent studies have associated gut microorganisms, genetic factors, and proteins with various aspects of IBD. There is evidence that these potential markers may reflect non-inflammatory processes such as fibrosis. The aim of this study is to explore the anorectal function in symptomatic patients with inactive IBD compared to healthy volunteers and asymptomatic patients, evaluate symptom severity and psychological parameters and perform molecular characterization. The level of agreement of rectal sensitivity and compliance measurements with the barostat method and HRAM protocol will also be evaluated.
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often link their symptoms to foods. Interest in dietary management recently increased, including the use of a low FODMAP diet. To investigate relation of FODMAPs and IBS, a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial will be carried out in adult (>18) patients with IBS according to Rome IV criteria. The aim is to assess low FODMAP diet versus moderate/high FODMAP diet in IBS patients.
