“…The interaction of food with the digestive tract is complex. The percentage of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in the diet controls the gastrointestinal release of hormones, thus influencing motility, gastric secretion and absorption, cell proliferation, appetite, and local immune response, while integrating the enteric, autonomic, and central nervous systems [9]. They also have an impact on the microbiota.…”

BackgroundFunctional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are complex conditions, resulting from the interactions between genetic, environmental, alimentary, psychological, socio-cultural factors and the interaction of the brain-gut axis. Gastrointestinal functional disorders (FGID) affect a significant percentage of school-age children worldwide, with approximately 1 in 4 children in the general population. The chronic and debilitating nature of symptoms is a major concern in paediatrics by reducing the quality of life of patients and their families and the financial burden on them. AimsThe present paper aimed to identify the dietary peculiarities in children diagnosed with FGID, older than 4 years, in a year of pandemic, in contrast to the eating habits of those in the general population, in order to highlight their role in FGID. Materials and MethodsA total of 341 subjects were included in the study, 278 met the criteria for inclusion in the group with FGID (81.52%) and 63 (18.48%) in the control group. The 63 participants from the control group were chosen by distributing the questionnaires of the patients presented for acute conditions without chronic diseases and FGID. ResultsAccording to BMI, FGIDs patients were more likely to be both underweight and overweight. In a regression model, more frequently consumption of fast and junk food and sugar intake was associated with the occurrence of the FGIDs (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1. OR 1.7, OR 1.4, resources), but also a high sugar intake increases the risk to belong to the FGID group (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.004-1.215). ConclusionsUnderweight, overweight, average socio-economic conditions, very rare physical activity, consumption of dairy, carbonated juices and junk food are positively associated with the probability of FGID occurrence.

“…GI diseases are among the most common reasons people seek medical care [ 4 ], and are typically caused by infections, unhealthy diet, stress, and medications’ side effects [ 2 ]. Given the varied causes of GI diseases, there is a growing interest in diverse treatment approaches, including dietary modifications [ 5 , 6 ]. Dietary approaches are recognized as a novel alternative treatment option for managing of GI diseases [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Background Evidence on the effects of bovine colostrum (BC) supplementation on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases is conflicting. Objectives This systematic review summarized the findings of clinical trials (CTs) on the effects of BC supplementation on GI diseases. Methods A systematic search was conducted in online databases, including PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus, until March 2021 and updated until December 2023. CTs investigated BC’s effect on any measurable symptomatic change in terms of GI health as the primary outcome variable or as one of the outcomes in any population eligible for this systematic review. Results Out of 6881 records, 22 CTs (uncontrolled = 4, cross-over = 1, and parallel = 17) with 1427 patients were enrolled in the systematic review. Diarrhea, the most frequently evaluated symptom (20 interventional arms), was decreased in frequency with BC supplementation in 15 of these arms. However, most studies reported no change in its duration. BC supplementation consistently reduced stool frequency across all seven studies. Abdominal pain relief was noted in four interventional arms but showed no improvement in five others. Assessment of other GI symptoms was limited, yielding inconclusive results. Conclusions There is limited evidence on the effects of BC on GI diseases, with mixed findings. More well-designed controlled clinical trials are required to explore its effects.

Background and Aims Many patients require long-term nutrition support, typically in the form of home nutrition support (HNS). The availability and utilisation of HNS in Saudi Arabia is currently unknown; therefore, this study was conducted to assess the availability of HNS in Saudi hospitals and to explore factors associated with the availability of HNS in different healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among physicians, dietitians, and pharmacists working in Saudi Arabia with regular practice in nutrition support. Data was collected through self-administered web-based survey, which was distributed via social-media platforms. Results A total of 114 responses were received from healthcare providers involved in nutrition support across Saudi Arabia. Of the respondents, 55 (48.2%) indicated that nutrition support services were available at their facility. Regression analysis showed that other regions in Saudi Arabia had lower odds of having HNS compared with the Western region (OR=0.01; 95% CI=0.01–0.69). The university and specialised hospitals had lower odds of having HNS compared with Ministry of Health hospitals (OR=0.11; 95% CI=0.02−0.71, OR=0.11; 95% CI=0.02−0.56, respectively). Hospitals with capacities of 100–250 beds and 251–500 had higher odds of having HNS than smaller hospitals (OR=13.17; 95% CI=1.09–159.5, OR=3.11; 95% CI=2.04–248.77, respectively). Conclusion There is lack of published reports from hospitals with implemented HNS. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the current situation of HNS programmes. Future national studies focusing on HNS are warranted as there is a rising international trend in the number of patients requiring HNS.
