Position statement of the Microbiota International Clinical Society.
Microbiota testing shows some promise, but needs more rigour, better reporting standards & clinician education to deliver real clinical value.

Excellent new review on predicting response to the low FODMAP diet. Symptom severity, breath tests + microbiota all explored - but clinical & psychological factors are the most practical right now. Next step: simple validated tools to personalise treatment.

Coeliac disease is increasing worldwide, shaped by HLA genetics and uncertain environmental factors. Most remain undiagnosed beneath the “Coeliac Iceberg". This paper highlights the need for proactive population screening over case-finding.

Coeliac disease isn’t just GI symptoms!
😴 Fatigue
🩸 Iron-deficiency anaemia
🦴 Osteoporosis

Immunology in Coeliac Disease.
T cells, APCs, B & epithelial cells drive CeD. The Exact immunologic sequence is unknown. HLA-DQ2 & DQ8 are essential. Without DQ2 and DQ8, CeD is (mostly) ruled out.

Despite their prevalence and impact, persistent physical symptoms are often overlooked in medical care.
A call for action in Europe. As much needed in the US!

Amazing to watch commentators and outlets attribute these findings to UPFs and seed oils when the study doesn't even look at this. The assumption that eating more linoleic acid -> higher tissue arachidonic acid enrichment has fueled so many handwavey hypotheses despite metabolic regulation

Dietary legumes and the gut microbiome: a comprehensive review
🫘 Mixed effects on the microbiome
🫛 some studies showed ↑ diversity, others none.
🫘 Consistently ↑ beneficial species like Bifidobacterium & Faecalibacterium.
More standardized, long-term studies needed.

The #intestine's dynamics (environment/movement/stiffness/flow) shapes stem cell fitness and function, shown here via PIEZO channels and is reflected in in-vitro models. So, are static 3D cultures sufficient? Could microphysiological systems #MPS #Organ-on-chip offer a better approach here?
How many gut microbes our gut holds may be more important than the species, new study suggests.

Practices of PCPs in Europe & the US in the Diagnosis & Tx of IBS: A Multinational Survey
- IBS underdiagnosed
- Viewed as diagnosis of exclusion
- US: confident in diets; EU: favor meds
- EU less ref for psych support
- Dr/Pt trust key to IBS care.

Clinical outcomes of potential coeliac disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis:
- Aprox 16% of CeD is ? PCD
- 1/3 progress to CeD with gluten
- Many normalise serology
- Symptomatic PCD - GFD = 🥳
- More research needed
