Impact of Subspecies on Pediatric Gut Health and Nutrition: Current Evidence and Future Directions.

the intestinal microbiota, a complex community vital to human health, is shaped by microbial competition and host-driven selective pressures. Among these microbes, plays a crucial role in early gut colonization during neonatal stages, where subspecies () predominates and is particularly prevalent in healthy breastfed infants. as we embark on a new era in nutrition of the pediatric population, this study seeks to examine the existing understanding regarding , encompassing both preclinical insights and clinical evidence.

Self-Reported Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity in Italian Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study. A Dietary Fad?

Introduction: In different countries, the exact prevalence of people that refer symptoms after gluten ingestion is increasing and the unavailability of reliable laboratory tests to diagnose the condition known as nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) has opened the door to the spread of survey-based studies to hypothesize a prevalence of this condition with highly discordant results. We aim to describe the attitude toward gluten consumption in a large population of young adults in Italy.

Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 13 Italian cities to investigate the dietary attitudes of more than 9,400 people distributed throughout the country about gluten consumption.
