Analysing the molecular and biochemical mechanisms disturbing the complex network of communication is key to our understanding of the pathophysiology of the functional GI disorders. Together with ESNM we have prepared an exciting webinar series under the topic: Microbiota and Gut-Brain Connection: A new Frontier in Neurogastroenterology. This free resource is a great opportunity to hear leading worldwide experts presenting the most recent findings on this topic.
Gut microbes in celiac disease show impaired metabolism of dietary tryptophan, according to researchers at McMaster University
27 Oct 2020by Heather Galipeau
Evidence over the past few years suggests that metabolites produced from microbes in the gut play a crucial role in maintaining gut health.
Could our gut microbiota protect us against harmful byproducts of food processing?
3 Feb 2020by Megan Mouw
Our gut microbiota aids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients and in training our immune system. New research in mice reveals gut bacteria may also protect us from chemical modifications of food ingredients introduced by food processing.
A new narrative review updates the scientific background of the mechanisms, diagnosis and management of food intolerances
23 Jan 2020by GMFH Editing Team
A clear consensus on the mechanisms of action of food intolerances doesn’t exist due to their heterogeneous nature. A new narrative review sheds light on the scientific background of the mechanisms, diagnosis and management of food intolerances.
Advances in the understanding of how microbes promote food sensitivity
4 Apr 2019by Heather Galipeau
Genetic predisposition alone cannot fully explain the current rise of food sensitivities, like celiac disease. Scientists have characterized the bacterial enzyme elastase involved in driving immune activation and worsening reactions to gluten in genetically susceptible hosts.
The most significant achievements in gut microbiome science in 2018
27 Dec 2018by GMFH Editing Team
GMFH continue to cover the important progress made in our knowledge of the gut microbiota's impact on wellbeing and disease.
Exposure to viral and bacterial infections early in life, especially in the setting of certain genetic predispositions, may increase an individual’s risk for developing food sensitivities.

The workshop, called ‘Gut microbiota targets in nutrition’, which was addressed to experts and healthcare practitioners specializing in nutrition and gastrointestinal disorders.
An updated guide with strengthened evidence to help clinicians use probiotics in the management of lower gastrointestinal symptoms
26 Feb 2018by GMFH Editing Team
The functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) that are characterized by persistent and recurring GI symptoms.
A scientific committee chaired has taken care to put together a program that covers the most relevant issues in the field today.
