Gastrointestinal Function, Damage and Symptoms During Exercise and the Potential Therapeutic Role of Probiotic Supplementation
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are widely reported in athletes participating in prolonged endurance events including; cyclists, triathletes and marathon runners, although there is a large estimated range of between 4–96% of participants affected (Costa et al., 2017a). Two potential causes of …

Acute effects of intradialytic nutrition supplementation on hemodynamics, treatment efficiency, and gastrointestinal symptoms in maintenance hemodialysis patients
… of our survey suggested that gastrointestinal (GI) issues were amongst the conditions most frequently attributed to eating during HD treatment. However, there have been no studies directly examining the effects of providing nutrition on these symptoms. One reason for this lack of data may have …

The influence of a dietary supplement (NDS Baseline Probiotic) on the gastrointestinal quality and physical performance of endurance runners
… runners suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms which can disrupt training or even prevent participation in competitions. Especially long-distance running affects the integrity of the intestinal mucosa. Dietary behaviour during training and competition is a significant factor in the …

Novel insights into the interaction between iron and curcumin and its physiological consequences
… in the intestinal mucosa and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that eventually compromises patient adherence to treatment. Iron supplementation in endurance athletes may be even more challenging as intense endurance exercise upregulates hepcidin, the master regulator of iron homeostasis that …

Gastrointestinal symptoms and nutritional strategies of endurance athletes
Lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common among endurance athletes and can negatively impact training and competition performance. These symptoms are similar to those characteristic of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a functional GI disorder affecting 10-20% of the U.S. population. A more …

Effectiveness of visceral osteopathic treatment on gastrointestinal indicators and behaviour patterns in autistic children: using questionnaire and biochemical markers to measure outcomes
… studies link autism with gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Although there is no specific treatment, the potential to ameliorate the behavioural and GI problems of autistic children is of interest. This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory markers in faecal samples taken from autistic …

Effect of a rapidly fermentable fiber on satiety, food intake, and tolerance in healthy human subjects.
Epidemiological studies strongly support the role of fiber in the control of obesity. Fiber is suggested to influence mechanisms of satiety and reduce energy intake. The postabsorptive fermentation of fiber in the large intestine may be linked to the satiating effects observed. The following work …

Nutrition and the GI microbiota in children with autism spectrum disorder and impact on symptom severity
The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota is increasingly recognized for its ability to influence brain function and behavior. In children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a microbial dysbiosis has been described and some bacterial taxa were found to predict certain symptoms of ASD. Additionally, …
