Food is considered the main trigger of digestive symptoms in the vast majority of patients living with IBS. While finding foods that do not prompt gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms has been a challenge for many people with IBS, restrictive diets can come with potential risks. Learn more about diets with evidence in IBS.

What to eat or not to eat as a means of reducing IBD symptoms is one of the main queries a patient might have following diagnosis. Although there is no simple answer and dietary changes are not a substitute for medical therapy, to help consider this question, we have prepared a new infographic on the dietary components to promote and limit in patients with IBD.

Discover the gut fungi world and their role in human health through our new infographic! Learn about their contribution to nutrient production, metabolism, defense against harmful microorganisms, and the establishment of healthy gut bacteria.

Despite the global focus on COVID-19, 2021 was also a productive year in gut microbiome research. In this “2021 Year at a glance” report, discover emerging trends in postbiotics, the role of beneficial microbes in dietary guidelines, diet-related tools for shaping the gut microbiome and the potential role of newly identified probiotics in obesity and functional dyspepsia.

We have known for a while that obesity has a microbial component. Now, a team of scientists led by Patrice D. Cani reports a novel bacterium isolated from the human gut that counteracts diet-induced obesity, inflammation and glucose dysregulation in mice.
