TL;DR: It is suggested that dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and kefir may modulate the gut microbiota composition in favor to the host, however, the broader health implications of these findings remain unclear and warrant further studies.

TL;DR: This is the first systematic review to examine all of the different treatment interventions that have been studied in Severe and Enduring eating Disorder and the results will inform future interventions in research and clinical practice.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review aimed to synthesise the results from studies investigating the effects of prebiotics and probiotics on kynurenine pathway metabolism, concluding that probiotics significantly affect serum kynuranine (g = 0.315, CI 0.070 to 0.560, p 0.012, 4 studies, I2 2 2 0.018, I 2 2 1.

TL;DR: To understand the possible direct effects of these regimens on gut microbiota, further rigorously designed trials, with more standardised microbiological sequencing techniques and detailed reporting, are required.

TL;DR: An overview of the role of the gut microbiota in relation to the disease pathology in anorexia nervosa is provided and especially focuses on the therapeutic potential of fermented foods, proposed here as a recommended addition to the current nutritional treatment protocols warranting further investigation.
