Challenges of the low FODMAP diet for managing irritable bowel syndrome and approaches to their minimisation and mitigation

Bridgette Wilson, Selina R. Cox, Kevin Whelan

Summary: The low FODMAP diet is clinically effective for managing irritable bowel syndrome, but faces challenges such as altering gut microbiota, impacting nutrient intake, and requiring adequate support for patients. Research shows a 50-80% response rate, and with appropriate implementation, these challenges can be overcome for effective outcomes.

Glycemic Response to a Renal-Specific Oral Nutritional Supplement in Patients With Diabetes Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Randomized Crossover Trial

Vishal Nainesh Patel, Giulia Dijk, Bridget Malarkey, Jennifer R. Brooke, Kevin Whelan, Helen L. MacLaughlin

Summary: A renal-specific oral nutritional supplement drink results in a lower postprandial glucose response in patients with diabetes undergoing hemodialysis compared to macronutrient-matched or standard ONS options.

Food additive emulsifiers: a review of their role in foods, legislation and classifications, presence in food supply, dietary exposure, and safety assessment

Selina Cox, Alicia Sandall, Leanne Smith, Megan Rossi, Kevin Whelan

Summary: The consumption of food additives has increased, particularly emulsifiers, with the rise of ultra-processed food intake. Research on the health effects of food additive emulsifiers is limited, and there are challenges in estimating exposure levels. Brand-specific databases for emulsifiers and longer-term human trials are needed for future research.

Gut microbiota associations with diet in irritable bowel syndrome and the effect of low FODMAP diet and probiotics

Heidi M. Staudacher, Matthias Scholz, Miranda Ce Lomer, Frances S. Ralph, Peter M. Irving, James O. Lindsay, Francesca Fava, Kieran Tuohy, Kevin Whelan

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between diet and microbiota in IBS patients, as well as the impact of two nutritional interventions on the microbiota. The results showed that the low FODMAP diet and probiotic supplementation can alter the microbiota in IBS patients, but baseline microbiota cannot predict clinical response to interventions.

Behavioral and Diet Therapies in Integrated Care for Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Summary: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects quality of life and costs healthcare systems billions of dollars annually. In addition to medication, behavioral techniques and dietary modifications are effective in treating IBS.

Nopal fiber (Opuntia ficus-indica) improves symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome in the short term: a randomized controlled trial

Jose M. Remes-Troche, Hector Taboada-Liceaga, Samantha Gill, Mercedes Amieva-Balmori, Megan Rossi, Gildardo Hernandez-Ramirez, Jose F. Garcia-Mazcorro, Kevin Whelan

Summary: Nopal fiber supplementation at doses of 20 and 30 g/day was associated with short-term improvement in IBS symptoms, warranting a fully powered clinical trial of longer duration with symptomatic, physiological, and microbiological endpoints.

Relationship Between Skeletal Muscle Area and Density and Clinical Outcome in Adults Receiving Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Danielle E. Bear, Liisa MacGowan, Maria Elstad, Zudin Puthucheary, Bronwen Connolly, Rebeka Wright, Nicholas Hart, Stephen Harridge, Kevin Whelan, Nicholas A. Barrett, Luigi Camporota

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of low skeletal muscle index and density in adults with severe respiratory failure and their associations with clinical outcomes. The findings suggest that low skeletal muscle index was associated with a longer duration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, while higher skeletal muscle density was associated with improved ICU survival.

Food Additive Emulsifiers and Their Impact on Gut Microbiome, Permeability, and Inflammation: Mechanistic Insights in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Aaron S. Bancil, Alicia M. Sandall, Megan Rossi, Benoit Chassaing, James O. Lindsay, Kevin Whelan

Summary: The global burden of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] has increased over the 21st century, with factors such as a 'Western diet' and dietary emulsifiers potentially contributing to the rise in prevalence. These factors may trigger the pathogenesis of IBD through various mechanisms.

Fermented foods: Availability, cost, ingredients, nutritional content and on-pack claims

Kevin Whelan, Nicola Jones

Summary: This study investigated the availability, cost, ingredients, nutritional content, and on-pack claims of commercially-produced fermented foods in the UK. The research found that there were differences in the number of products, cost, and nutritional content among different categories of fermented foods. Commercially-produced fermented foods are diverse in their cost, nutritional content, ingredients, and use of on-pack claims.

Long-term personalized low FODMAP diet improves symptoms and maintains luminal Bifidobacteria abundance in irritable bowel syndrome

Heidi M. Staudacher, Megan Rossi, Thomas Kaminski, Eirini Dimidi, Frances S. E. Ralph, Bridgette Wilson, Lee D. Martin, Petra Louis, Miranda C. E. Lomer, Peter M. Irving, Kevin Whelan

Summary: The study found that a long-term personalized low FODMAP diet can improve symptoms in IBS patients, with no significant impact on Bifidobacteria, but lower concentrations of total SCFA, acetate, propionate, and butyrate.

Fat-soluble vitamin assessment, deficiency and supplementation in infants with cholestasis

Sara Mancell, Maeisha Islam, Anil Dhawan, Kevin Whelan

Summary: The study found that infants with cholestasis are at risk of fat-soluble vitamin deficiency, particularly in vitamin D and E. The implementation of vitamin supplementation is not standardized, with better performance in vitamin assessment, deficiency, and supplementation observed in infants with biliary atresia.

Prebiotic Galactooligosaccharide Supplementation in Adults with Ulcerative Colitis: Exploring the Impact on Peripheral Blood Gene Expression, Gut Microbiota, and Clinical Symptoms

Bridgette Wilson, Oezge Eyice, Ioannis Koumoutsos, Miranda C. Lomer, Peter M. Irving, James O. Lindsay, Kevin Whelan

Summary: Prebiotics may not reduce clinical scores or inflammation in patients with active ulcerative colitis, but can normalize stools. The increase in proportions of Bifidobacterium and Christensenellaceae only occurred in patients with less active diseases, suggesting that the prebiotic effect may depend on disease activity.

Improving Food-Related Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease through a Novel Web Resource: A Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial

Selina R. Cox, Wladyslawa Czuber-Dochan, Catherine L. Wall, Hazel Clarke, Candice Drysdale, Miranda C. Lomer, James O. Lindsay, Kevin Whelan

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of a web resource in enhancing food-related quality of life in newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease patients. The results showed that FR-QoL increased more in the web resource group, and IBD distress reduced, while the control group showed opposite results.

Particle Size Distribution and Predicted Lipid Bioaccessibility of Almonds and the Effect of Almond Processing: A Randomised Mastication Study in Healthy Adults

Alice C. C. Creedon, Estella S. S. Hung, Eirini Dimidi, Terri Grassby, Sarah E. E. Berry, Kevin Whelan

Summary: Almonds contain unsaturated lipids, which are beneficial for human health. The unique properties of almonds affect their particle size distribution after chewing, making it difficult for the body to fully digest the almond lipids. Commercial grinding of almonds into flour changes the particle size distribution and slightly increases the predicted bioaccessibility of lipids.
