“…Therefore, LAB are often used as starters in food production processes. Results of clinical studies have confirmed the positive effect of probiotic bacteria on intestinal infections, allergic diseases, improvement of various types of cancer especially clone cancer, improvement of digestion and regulation of the immune system (Ashaolu, 2020 ; Pratap et al., 2020 ; Shu et al., 2020 ; Vasiee et al., 2019 ; Vasiee, Falah, Sankian, et al., 2020 ).…”

“…An estimated 6-8% of all children live with food allergy [1,2], which has a considerable impact on the child and their family [2][3][4]. While the impact of childhood food allergy on quality of life is well described [3][4][5][6], researchers are just beginning to trace the economic consequences of this condition [7][8][9]. Relative to those without a food-allergic child, families with food-allergic children are burdened with the added responsibilities of avoiding allergens, attending regular appointments with healthcare professionals, and teaching their children how to manage their allergy independently.…”

Background The impact of childhood food allergy on household costs has not been examined in Canada. The current study sought to examine differences in direct, indirect, and intangible costs among Canadian families with and without a food-allergic child. Methods Families with a child with a specialist-diagnosed food allergy (cases) were recruited from two tertiary pediatric allergy clinics in the Province of Manitoba, Canada, and matched, based on age and sex, to families without a food-allergic child (controls). Cost data for the two groups were collected via an adapted version of the Food Allergy Economic Questionnaire (FA-EcoQ). Consideration was given to income, defined as above vs. below the provincial annual median income. Results Results from 35 matched case/control pairs revealed that while total household costs did not significantly differ between cases and controls, food-allergic families did incur higher direct costs ($12,455.69 vs. $10,078.93, p = 0.02), which were largely attributed to spending on food. In contrast, cases reported lower, but not statistically significant, total indirect costs compared to controls ($10,038.76 vs. $12,294.12, p = 0.06). Families also perceived their food-allergic child as having poorer quality of life relative to their healthy peers. Lastly, stratification of the analyses by annual income revealed several differences between the higher and lower income groups. Conclusions Relative to families without a food-allergic child, food-allergic families incurred higher direct costs across a number of different areas.

“…An imbalance or dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been associated with several chronic and inflammatory non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, type-2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease [ 1 ]. Diet and dietary fibers play a central role in maintaining gut homeostasis, as bacterial populations use them to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and other molecules, which interact with the intestinal mucosal barrier and assist in immune tolerance [ 2 , 3 ]. Different dietary supplements involving a range of macromolecules, such as polysaccharides, are efficacious in promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria to produce immune-boosting metabolites [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”

The intestinal microbial community (microbiota) is dynamic and variable amongst individuals and plays an essential part in gut health and homeostasis. Dietary components can modulate the structure of the gut microbiota. In recent years, substantial efforts have been made to find novel dietary components with positive effects on the gut microbial community structure. Natural algal polysaccharides and carotenoids have been reported to possess various functions of biological relevance and their impact on the gut microbiota is currently a topic of interest. This study, therefore, reports the effect of the sulfated polysaccharide ulvan and the carotenoid astaxanthin extracted and purified from the aquacultured marine green macroalgae Ulva ohnoi and freshwater green microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, respectively, on the temporal development of the murine gut microbiota. Significant changes with the increase in the bacterial classes Bacteroidia, Bacilli, Clostridia, and Verrucomicrobia were observed after feeding the mice with ulvan and astaxanthin. Duration of the treatments had a more substantial effect on the bacterial community structure than the type of treatment. Our findings highlight the potential of ulvan and astaxanthin to mediate aspects of host-microbe symbiosis in the gut, and if incorporated into the diet, these could assist positively in improving disease conditions associated with gut health.
