TLDR
Inulin-derived oligosaccharides and GOS are mildly laxative, but can result in flatulence and osmotic diarrhoea if taken in large amounts.Citations

Microbial degradation of complex carbohydrates in the gut
TL;DR: The impact of dietary carbohydrates, including prebiotics, on human health requires understanding of the complex relationship between diet composition, the gut microbiota and metabolic outputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human milk oligosaccharides: Every baby needs a sugar mama
TL;DR: An accumulating body of evidence suggests that HMOs are antiadhesive antimicrobials that serve as soluble decoy receptors, prevent pathogen attachment to infant mucosal surfaces and lower the risk for viral, bacterial and protozoan parasite infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics on Human Health.
TL;DR: This paper provides a review of available information and summarises the current knowledge on the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on human health, and verified study results proving their efficacy in human nutrition are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bifidobacteria and butyrate-producing colon bacteria: Importance and strategies for their stimulation in the human gut
TL;DR: It has been shown that the butyrogenic effects of ITF and AXOS are the result of cross-feeding interactions between bifidobacteria and butyrate-producing colon bacteria, such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Anaerostipes, Eubacterium, and Roseburia species (clostridial cluster XIVa).

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.
Book
Ulcerative Colitis
TL;DR: Overall, incidence appeared to be on the rise worldwide and peak incidence occurred in the second to fourth decade of life, although a modest rise was also seen in later life, and no consistent difference was seen between the sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Human Colonic Function: Roles of Resistant Starch and Nonstarch Polysaccharides
TL;DR: Resistant starch is a prebiotic, but knowledge of its other interactions with the microflora is limited and the contribution of RS to fermentation and colonic physiology seems to be greater than that of NSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis
TL;DR: Overall these studies demonstrate that analysis of cytokine expression and regulation may yield effective therapeutic targets in inflammatory disease.

Probiotics in primary prevention of atopic disease: a randomised placebo-controlled trial
TL;DR: Gut microflora might be a hitherto unexplored source of natural immunomodulators and probiotics, for prevention of atopic disease in children at high risk.
