“…In the study conducted by Özenoğlu et al, it was found that diets rich in vegetables, fiber, antioxidants, and caffeine did not exhibit a significant association with an increased risk of dysphagia, which is a symptom commonly associated with GERD [ 50 , 63 ]. GERD is strongly associated with dietary and lifestyle patterns [ 64 ].…”

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common esophageal disorder characterized by troublesome symptoms associated with increased esophageal acid exposure. The cornerstones of therapy in this regard include treatment with acid-suppressive agents, lifestyle modifications, and dietary therapy, although the latter has not been well defined. As concerns regarding long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use continue to be explored, patients and healthcare providers are becoming increasingly interested in the role of diet in disease management. However, dietary interventions lack evidence of the synthesis effect of functional foods. The following is a review of dietary therapy for GERD, emphasizing food components’ impact on GERD pathophysiology and management. Although the sequential dietary elimination of food groups is a common practice, the literature supports broader intervention, including reduced overall sugar intake, increased dietary fiber, and changes in overall eating practices. While the primary concern of food companies is to provide safe products, the caloric, nutritional, and functional composition of foods is also generating interest in the food industry due to consumers’ concerns.

“…Its influence emerges predominantly when a holistic, patient-centered approach is necessary to bridge the gap between physiological and psychological healing [5]. The intricate interconnection between physical illnesses and psychological distress often complicates patient management, leading to interruptions in treatment adherence [6]. This interdependence is particularly obvious in the field of oncology, where patients' psychological well-being significantly influences their ability to cope with the illness, their reaction to treatment, and, ultimately, the treatment outcomes.…”

Psychosomatic medicine has been known to play a pivotal role in the management of complex medical cases by providing a bridge between the physical disease and psychological distress. This case study focuses on a 42-year-old Saudi female diagnosed with breast cancer and generalized anxiety disorder. In addition to anxiety, the patient had a history of obsessive-compulsive personality traits, which contributed to her reluctance to undergo mastectomy. Significant challenges and noncompliance with treatment were caused by her unwillingness and inadequate interaction with the medical team. An integrated multidisciplinary strategy including psycho-oncological interventions was necessary because of the complexity of this case. Communication issues were addressed through the concerted efforts of the specialist teams. A comprehensive patient-practitioner understanding was established, which enabled the teams to persuade the patient to undergo surgical intervention. Overcoming her initial resistance, the patient eventually complied with the treatment plan, leading to a successful surgery. Postsurgical evaluations using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale indicated a significant reduction in anxiety levels. This case underscores the critical contribution of psychosomatic medicine to healthcare, especially in challenging situations that demand additional resource allocation, further highlighting the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, efficient communication, and patient-practitioner rapport in healthcare outcomes Categories: Psychiatry, Oncology

“…It is not well established why leafy green vegetables like IL should be consumed other than from the beneficial dietary components contained within, or the role surfactants (SF) may have in the vegetable/fat interactions present during digestion [9][10][11][12][13]. Although it is known that certain foods can trigger GER (trigger foods) and can have refluxogenic scores, the chemical and physical mechanisms of interaction with the mucus layer of the stomach barrier lining or underlying structures, that may initiate and maintain the reflux process, are unknown [8,14]. The relationship between dietary components and the effect on GERD symptoms is reportedly due primarily to decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone but includes transient LES relaxations, irritation of the esophageal mucosa, increase in gastric distention, altered gastric motility and increased gastric acid production [14].…”

The consumption of iceberg lettuce may reduce the adhesion of dietary fat to the mucus surface of the stomach barrier lining decreasing the risk of triggering acute gastroesophageal reflux

Iceberg lettuce (IL) leaves contain surface epicuticular waxes that can adsorb significant quantities of dietary fat per unit weight. Fats such as olive oil, butter, lamb fat and lard readily adsorb onto IL with soft solid fats contained in lamb fat and lard, showing strong adhesion and more resistance to removal on rinsing in a water stream. Dishwashing detergents containing surfactants prevent the adsorption of both liquid and solid fats to the lettuce leaf surface, unless at very low concentrations, highlighting their significant influence on surface properties. Based on the adhesion of fats to the IL leaf surface, it is proposed the consumption of IL could reduce acute gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In diets containing fat, the adhesion to IL reduces the amount of fat available to adhere to the mucus surface of the stomach barrier lining, protecting the lining and reducing access by trigger foods to underlying surfaces that could potentially initiate GER.Graphical abstractIceberg lettuce leaves have approximately twice the surface area of the stomach for a 50g serve and 500cm3meal volume and due to the waxy surface, can adsorb significant amounts of dietary fat. Lettuce may also adsorb on the mucus layer of the stomach barrier lining but is not regarded as a trigger food. Lettuce with its large surface area to adsorb fat, can keep fat suspended in solution, protecting the lining from fat adsorption and reducing the probability that fatty trigger foods can access underlying surfaces and cause acute gastroesophageal reflux.
