Igg Food Antibody Guided Elimination-Rotation Diet Was More Effective than FODMAP Diet and Control Diet in the Treatment of Women with Mixed IBS-Results from an Open Label Study.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disease with recurrent abdominal pain, disturbed bowel emptying, and changes in stool consistency. We compared the effectiveness of three different dietary treatment plans (G1-FM-low FODMAP diet, G2-IP IgG based elimination-rotation-diet, and as control group, the G3-K control diet recommended by an attending gastroenterologist) in treating patients diagnosed with mixed irritable bowel syndrome. A total of seventy-three female patients diagnosed with a mixed form of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-M) were enrolled in the study.

The Food-Specific Serum IgG Reactivity in Major Depressive Disorder Patients, Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients and Healthy Controls.

There is an increasing amount of evidence which links the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with food IgG hyperreactivity. Some authors have suggested that food IgG hyperreactivity could be also involved in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). The aim of this study was to compare levels of serum IgG against 39 selected food antigens between three groups of participants: patients with MDD (MDD group), patients with IBS (IBS group) and healthy controls (HC group).

Immune suppression of IgG response against dairy proteins in major depression.

Background: Interactions between the digestive system, brain functions and immunoglobulin G (IgG) mediated immunity against food antigens became recently a topic of growing interest in psychiatry research. Psychological stress can activate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) with subsequent hypercortisolemia. It can also influence intestinal permeability and dynamics of IgG response.

Microbiota – a key to healing the gastrointestinal tract?

At present, it is already known that many gastrointestinal tract diseases are caused by disorders of the intestinal ecosystem. The contribution of microbiota disorders to the development and sustaining of in􀏐lammatory bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, constipation or bloating has been demonstrated in numerous scienti􀏐ic studies. Another matter is bacterial imbalance in food allergy and atopic diseases.

Faecal microbiota transplant - prospects and safety.

The intestinal microbiota, either directly or indirectly, plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. The intestine microorganisms are significant due to the role they play in stimulating the development of the immune system, protecting against pathogens, and also managing metabolic and nutrient processing. The effectiveness of probiotics and prebiotics in various gastrointestinal diseases has been repeatedly confirmed.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Crohn's disease - is there any connection?

The aim of the study was evaluation of the correlation between the level of clinical activity of Crohn's disease (CD) and the number of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, total number of bacteria and the concentration of selected short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in stool. 34 individuals diagnosed with Crohn's disease participated in this study in 2011. The disease activity was determined according to the Crohn Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
