Teams of scientists from around the world envisage new solutions and methods for treating and preventing different kinds of allergic diseases, thanks to our gut microbiota and its preventive role.

The gluten-free diet for celiac disease can be low in fiber. Researchers from McMaster University showed that people with celiac disease had reduced capacity to metabolize dietary fiber in the small intestine because they lack key fiber-degrading bacteria.

With nearly 240 participants from 27 countries, the 14th edition of GMFH World Summit covered basic, translational and clinical science supporting the integration of microbiome-targeted interventions into preventive and therapeutic strategies for gastrointestinal disorders, cardiometabolic diseases, and cancer.

A new study reveals that the benefits of dietary fiber in celiac disease depend not only on intake, but also on the presence of specific gut microbes capable of metabolizing it. These findings highlight the need for more personalized dietary strategies beyond the gluten-free diet.
