Sugar Intake, Taste Changes and Dental Health in Crohn’s Disease

Abstract: Background: An increased intake of sucrose has been reported in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD). Since subclinical zinc deficiency reduces taste perception for sweet, we investigated taste perception, sucrose intake and plasma zinc levels as well as dental status in CD patients. Methods: Carbohydrate intake and plasma zinc levels were assessed in 24 CD patients and 24 age-matched controls (Con). Taste threshold for sucrose, oral hygiene and caries prevalence were evaluated. Results: In CD a higher sucrose i… Show more

“…More caries in CD patients have been shown by some previous studies [13], [15], [20]. Conversely, Grössner - Schreiber et al [21] did not report any differences in the DMF-S index between patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but described a significantly higher prevalence of dentine caries amongst patients with IBD compared to the control group.…”

“…Z kilku badań wynika większa jej intensywność [11][12][13][14][15], a inne nie wykazują takiej zależności [16,17]. Nasilenie występowania próchnicy u chorych było wyjaśniane zwiększeniem konsumpcji węglowoda-nów podczas choroby, które są jednym z głównych czynników przyczynowych próchnicy [18][19][20]. Reif et al [21] na podstawie analizy jakościowej i ilościowej oraz historii diety nowo zdiagnozowanych pacjentów stwierdzili u nich dużą konsumpcję sacharozy przed rozpoznaniem choroby Crohna.…”

“…The consumption of foods that are low in fiber, high in sugar, and high in animal fat has been proposed to increase the risk for IBD [4], [5]. In particular, CD patients have been shown to consume large amounts of sucrose and refined carbohydrates, whereas they consume few fruits and vegetables [6][10]. CD patients commonly have weight loss and nutritional impairment at diagnosis [11].…”

“…Additionally, in this study, the gustatory function of IBD patients was tested by a new taste test employing impregnated taste strips. Former investigations of the gustatory function in CD patients used the Henkin's pipette method [10], [18][20]. In this study, the UC patients were also investigated for the olfactory and gustatory functions, and the effects of medication and disease activity on smell and taste were evaluated.…”
