Dietary fibers are plant-derived carbohydrates and associated components, that not digested within the human upper intestinal tract/gut. Traditionally they classified based on their solubility in water i.e., soluble dietary fiber (SDF) insoluble (IDF). The SDFs generally regarded as fermentable by microbiota, primarily large intestine. considered health-promoting food components have profound impacts different diseases such diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory bowel diseases....
Abstract Background Dietary fibres are not digested in the bowel; they fermented by microbes, typically promoting gut health. However, IBD patients have altered microbiota composition and can experience sensitivity to consumption of fibres. Our previous findings offered first mechanistic evidence that if dietary β-fructans (inulin oligofructose) microbes patients, these induce inflammation. This diet-induced inflammation could serious repercussions as chronic creates a mutagenic environment...
