Diet is one of the main factors that affects composition gut microbiota. When people move from a rural environment to urban areas, and experience improved socio-economic conditions, they are often exposed "globalized" Western type diet. Here, we present preliminary observations on metagenomic scale microbial changes in small groups African children belonging same ethnicity living different environments, compared area Florence (Italy). We analyzed dietary habits and, by pyrosequencing 16S...

People in rural areas still have a traditional and lifestyle, whereas Westernization of diet lifestyle already evident urban areas. This study describes dietary habits families Burkina Faso living at different levels urbanization.

Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) represents an established, evidence-based dietary therapy used in Crohn's disease (CD); although successful, EEN is extremely restrictive with limited acceptability and prolonged use. The exclusion diet (CDED) a new, sustainable patient-friendly for the management of pediatric CD. CDED designed to reduce exposure components hypothesized negatively affect microbiome, intestinal barrier immunity. By focusing on five clinical cases, this article illustrates...

Abstract Background How the evolution of dietary habits has impacted yeasts associated with our gut is largely unknown. The impact urbanization and globalization on human nutrition composition microbial communities are considered driving forces behind rise in non-communicable diseases. While previous studies developing countries have investigated changes bacterial component microbiota during transition from rural to urban areas, modifications intestinal fungal completely unexplored. In this...
Abstract Background Despite the accumulating body of evidence efficacy and tolerability Crohn’s disease exclusion diet (CDED) combined with partial enteral nutrition (PEN), there is still a paucity data regarding its use in combination other medical treatments. We aimed at assessing re-inducing remission pediatric CD patients experiencing relapse while on maintenance therapies. Methods This was single-center, retrospective, observational study conducted an Italian national referral IBD...
