“…All elements of dietary fiber of the water-soluble fraction, including inulin, pectin, gums, and beta-glucans, do not irritate the colonic mucosa, while stimulating the growth of microorganisms producing butyric acid and propionic acid in the lumen of the large intestine. These substances show protective activity against the intestinal mucosa, and butyric acid additionally inhibits the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors [13,14,24,25]. A study conducted by Desai et al in mouse models demonstrated the significant effect of dietary fiber on the occurrence and treatment of intestinal pathology [26].…”

“…Deprivation of access to dietary fiber for the microorganisms colonizing the intestines, which occurs with a low-fiber diet, leads to energy extraction from the breakdown of components contained in the mucus secreted by the human body, resulting in a loss of integrity of the colonic mucosa [26]. This leads to the penetration of unfavorable microorganisms across the intestinal barrier, inducing inflammation within the gut, including UC [24,26].…”

“…Vegetables, fruits, and legumes form the basis of the Mediterranean diet [14]. When properly selected and prepared, they are very important in the diet in UC patients because they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber of the water-soluble fraction [13,24]. A meta-analysis by Li et al found that fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with a lower risk of UC [25].…”

Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to the group of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). UC is an incurable, diffuse, and chronic inflammatory process of the colonic mucosa with alternating periods of exacerbation and remission. This review aimed to analyze the scientific research conducted to date to determine what impact different nutritional plans and dietary supplements may have on the course of UC. The latest 98 articles about nutrition and supplementation in ulcerative colitis were used to prepare the work. Certain components in food can greatly influence the course of UC, inducing changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiome. This activity may be an important part of therapy for people with IBD. The Mediterranean diet has shown the most promising results in the treatment of patients with UC due to its high content of biologically active foods. Patients with UC may benefit from the UC Exclusion Diet (UCED); however, it is a new nutritional plan that requires further research. Patents frequently resort to unconventional diets, which, because of their frequent elimination of nutrient-rich foods, can worsen the health and nutritional status of those who follow them. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics supplementation may have additional therapeutic effects; however, the evidence is not unequivocal.

“…Recently, the International Organization for the Study of IBD (IOIBD) recommended increasing exposure to fruit and vegetables in Crohn's disease [18]. Moreover, a specific food pyramid [19], maintaining complex carbohydrates every day together with fruits and vegetables has been designed for IBD by Italian researchers. The risk of inadequate folate intake and its consequences related to the avoidance of vegetables should be also considered.…”

Perception of the Role of Food and Dietary Modifications in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Impact on Lifestyle

et al. 2021

Background: Diet has a relevant role in triggering symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from the patients’ perspective, but there is gap the between patients’ and doctors’ perceptions. Few studies have addressed this topic. The aim of this study was to evaluate food habits and nutrition knowledge in a homogeneous cohort of patients with IBD from southern Italy. Methods: 167 consecutive patients with IBD were recruited. The survey was based on the administration of a semi-structured questionnaire assessing demographics, disease features, dietary behavior, and food intolerance. Results: The majority of patients did not consider food a cause of their disease. However more than 80% changed their diet after the diagnosis and most report an improvement in symptoms. Spiced and seasoned foods, dairy products, vegetables, and fruit were often avoided. A dairy-free diet was adopted by 33.7%. Food choices were based on self-experience and not on medical counselling. Dietary modifications deeply impact on lifestyle. Conclusions: Most of the patients with IBD set diet and lifestyle on self-experience and give up many foods. This has an impact on psychosocial functioning and can lead to nutritional deficiencies. High quality studies are warranted to assess evidence-based dietary strategies and develop patient-targeted dietary recommendations.

“…Some diets may be harmful for one disease, but helpful for its subtype or vice versa. For example, consumption of cheese is known to be helpful for a disease named Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) [132], whereas it is harmful for its subtype named Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) [133]. A graph containing such complex relationships is as shown in Figure 12.…”

The current global pandemic, Covid-19, is a severe threat to human health and existence especially when it is mutating very frequently. Being a novel disease, Covid-19 is impacting the patients with comorbidities and is predicted to have long-term consequences, even for those who have recovered from it. To clearly recognize its impact, it is important to comprehend the complex relationship between Covid-19 and other diseases. It is also being observed that people with good immune system are less susceptible to the disease. It is perceived that if a correlation between Covid-19, other diseases, and diet is realized, then caregivers would be able to enhance their further course of medical action and recommendations. Network Analysis is one such technique that can bring forth such complex interdependencies and associations. In this paper, a Network Analysis-based approach has been proposed for analyzing the interplay of diets/foods along with Covid-19 and other diseases. Relationships between Covid-19, diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and diets have been curated, visualized, and further analyzed in this study so as to predict unknown associations. Network algorithms including Louvain graph algorithm (LA), K nearest neighbors (KNN), and Page rank algorithms (PR) have been employed for predicting a total of 60 disease-diet associations, out of which 46 have been found to be either significant in disease risk prevention/mitigation or in its progression as validated using PubMed literature. A precision of 76.7% has been achieved which is significant considering the involvement of a novel disease like Covid-19. The generated interdependencies can be further explored by medical professionals and caregivers in order to plan healthy eating patterns for Covid-19 patients. The proposed approach can also be utilized for finding beneficial diets for different combinations of comorbidities with Covid-19 as per the underlying health conditions of a patient.
