Over the past decade, gut microbiota have been suggested to be an important contributor to the development of obesity and metabolic disease.
Gut immune cells may help send multiple sclerosis into remission
Date: 20/11/2020
An international research team has shown, for the first time, that gut immune cells travel to the brain during multiple sclerosis (MS) flare-ups in patients.
Study: Fructose syrup disrupts gut microbiome but fruit can undo negative effects
Date: 11/11/2020
A high-fructose syrup diet negatively disrupts the gut microbiome but a diet high in fruit modulates it favourably, supporting digestive health and counteracting harmful effects of excessive fructose, according to a pilot intervention study.
Diet and lifestyle during pregnancy linked to modifications in infants' DNA
Date: 06/11/2020
A new study has shown pregnant women with obesity could reduce the health risks for their infants through improved diet and more physical activity.

Date: 03/11/2020
This winter, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, make sure you take the correct dose of vitamin D – for both you and your baby.
Evidence found of link between gut microbe deficiency and autism spectrum disorder
Date: 27/10/2020
This study suggests that ASD likely develops in children due to a gut microbiome impact on the detoxification process in the gut.

Can exercise and nutrition improve cognition?
Study reveals dietary fructose heightens inflammatory bowel disease
Date: 29/09/2020
A new study suggests that consumption of fructose may worsen intestinal inflammation common to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).
Study: Habitual low fibre consumption in IBD exacerbates dysbiosis
Date: 25/09/2020
Most patients with IBD habitually consume inadequate amounts of dietary fibre which may have negative effects on the gut microbiome and contribute to dysbiosis
Guts and brains: How microbes in a mother's intestines affect fetal neurodevelopment
Date: 23/09/2020
During pregnancy, the maternal gut microbiota could potentially influence not only the health of the mother but the health of the developing offspring as well.
Time for a Paradigm Shift on Food and Mood
Date: 31/08/2020
Healthy eating patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet, are associated with better mental health than “unhealthy” eating patterns, such as the Western diet.
Review finds vitamin D and some minerals might benefit fibromyalgia sufferers
Date: 24/08/2020
A new review has found some promise for the use of vitamin D and mineral supplementation to support fibromyalgia sufferers. There was less evidence in favor of vitamins C and E and probiotics, however.
Researchers find link between gut microbiome and cancer treatment outcomes
Date: 19/08/2020
Physicians at City of Hope, working in collaboration with scientists at Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), have found that greater gut microbial diversity in patients with metastatic kidney cancer is associated with better treatment outcomes on Food and Drug Administration-approved immunotherapy regimens. Their findings are outlined in a study published today in the journal European Urology.
Influence of vitamin D supplementation on a baby's gut microbiome
Date: 19/08/2020
New research from the CHILD Cohort Study has shed light on the influence of vitamin D supplementation on a baby's developing gut microbiome. The study, published in the journal Gut Microbes, found that vitamin D supplementation is associated with compositional changes in a baby's microbiome—notably a lower abundance of the bacteria Megamonas—at three months of age.
Antibiotics associated with increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease
Date: 17/08/2020
Antibiotics use, particularly antibiotics with greater spectrum of microbial coverage, may be associated with an increased risk of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its subtypes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Personalised probiotic cocktails’ could be the future in tackling gut dysbiosis, study finds
Date: 11/08/2020
“Personalised probiotic cocktails” may be possible after a team use new insights to predict the success of Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) in addressing recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI).
Gut bacteria in people with Huntington's disease may be a potential drug target
Date: 06/08/2020
A world first clinical study of the gut microbiome in people with Huntington's disease (HD) has found that it is not just a disease of the brain, but also of the body. The study, led by Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, with collaboration from the Florey Institute for Neurosciences found evidence of gut dysbiosis (altered bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract) in people with HD, with some of the gut measures associated with disease symptoms, such as impaired movements and thinking.

Creating a new paradigm for understanding the individual effects of diet
Date: 18/06/2020
Researchers have made a major breakthrough in understanding how individuals can have different reactions to the same diets.
Gut-brain axis: Microbiome linked to neuron disease
Date: 18/05/2020
Harvard University scientists have identified a new gut-brain connection in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND), through a study in mice. The researchers found that in mice with a common ALS genetic mutation, changing the gut microbiome using antibiotics or faecal transplants could prevent or improve disease symptoms.
