The Role of Dietary Ingredients and Herbs in the Prevention of Non-Communicable Chronic Liver Disease.

Non-communicable chronic liver diseases also often develop as a result of accompanying overweight and obesity, as well as type 2 diabetes.

Methods: The literature on risk factors for non-communicable chronic liver diseases, which show a high strong influence on their occurrence, was analysed.

Use of Dietary Supplements among Polish Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Two-Center Pilot Study.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). These diseases are characterized by inflammation, which may be a consequence of changes in the intestinal microbiota and lead to mineral and vitamin deficiencies. The aims of this study were to determine the level of dietary supplement intake in children with IBD and to determine the influence of factors such as sex, nutritional status, diet, and other comorbidities on supplement intake.

Effects of Milk and Dairy on the Risk and Course of Inflammatory Bowel Disease versus Patients' Dietary Beliefs and Practices: A Systematic Review.

Background: The role of the environment in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is undisputed, especially in light of numerous epidemiological data showing the increasing prevalence of IBD worldwide. Although no specific environmental factors have been identified, the diet has received the most attention as a potential modifier of the onset and course of IBD and as a therapeutic intervention. The Westernization of the diet is repeatedly cited as a crucial aspect of the change in IBD prevalence, but data on the impact of diet on the course of IBD are still limited and the effectiveness of dietary interventions remains uncertain.
