Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: History, Pathophysiology, Clinical Features and Rome IV.
TL;DR: This introductory article sets the stage for the remaining 17 articles that follow and offers an historical overview of the FGIDs field, differentiates FGIDs from motility and structural disorders, discusses the changes from Rome III, reviews the Rome committee process, and provides a biopsychosocial pathophysiological conceptualization of FGIDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Clinical Review
TL;DR: The existing evidence on epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of IBS is summarized to provide practical treatment recommendations for generalists and specialists according to the best available evidence.

Diets that differ in their FODMAP content alter the colonic luminal microenvironment
Emma P. Halmos,Claus T. Christophersen,Anthony R. Bird,Susan Joy Shepherd,Peter R. Gibson,Jane G. Muir +5 more
TL;DR: A low FODMAP diet reduces symptoms of IBS, but reduction of potential prebiotic and fermentative effects might adversely affect the colonic microenvironment, and diets differing in FodMAP content have marked effects on gut microbiota composition.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Meta-analysis
TL;DR: Results indicate greater prevalence ofGI symptoms among children with ASD compared with control children, and future research must address critical questions about the causes and long-term impact of GI symptoms in ASD.

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
Review article: the role of butyrate on colonic function
Henrike M. Hamer,Daisy Jonkers,Koen Venema,Steven Vanhoutvin,Freddy J. Troost,Robert Brummer +5 more
TL;DR: Butyrate is an important energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and plays a role in the maintenance of colonic homeostasis, and is a main end‐product of intestinal microbial fermentation of mainly dietary fibre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective stimulation of bifidobacteria in the human colon by oligofructose and inulin.
TL;DR: Small changes in diet can alter the balance of colonic bacteria towards a potentially healthier microflora, and a 15-g.day-1 dietary addition of oligofructose or inulin led to Bifidobacterium becoming the numerically predominant genus in feces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Position of the American Dietetic Association: health implications of dietary fiber.
TL;DR: Fiber is one of the structural and storage polysaccharides and lignin in plants that are not digested in the human stomach and small intestine, and it is associated with a lower risk of colon cancer.
