Long-term microbiome and clinical effects of a microbiome-guided personalized diet versus low-FODMAP diet in irritable bowel syndrome: A 12-month follow-up randomized controlled trial.

Dietary therapy is central to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) management, yet the long-term durability of the low-FODMAP diet (LFD), and of microbiome-guided personalization, remains unclear. We assessed the long-term clinical and gut-microbiome effects of a microbiome-guided personalized diet (PD) compared with a standard LFD in adults meeting Rome IV criteria for IBS. In this multicenter, open-label randomized controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment, participants who completed a 6-week dietary intervention (PD or LFD) were followed at 6 and 12 months without further dietary intervention. Outcomes included the IBS Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QOL), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); gut microbiota were profiled by 16S rRNA sequencing. Longitudinal changes were evaluated using linear mixed-effects models, responder analyses, PERMANOVA, and PERMDISP. Both diets reduced IBS-SSS at 6 weeks. PD maintained symptom improvement at 6 and 12 months (-82.0 and -78.3 points from baseline), whereas LFD benefits regressed by 12 months (+29.3 points; between-group p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.001). At 12 months, IBS-SSS responder rates were higher with PD than LFD (62.5% vs 34.5%; absolute risk difference&#x2009;+28.0%, 95% CI 4.2-47.7; Fisher p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.029), and IBS-QOL, HADS-anxiety, and HADS-depression showed more favourable trajectories with PD. PD was associated with sustained Shannon alpha-diversity gains (+0.488 at 6 weeks;&#x2009;+0.205 at 12 months; both p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.01). A modest between-group beta-diversity difference at 6 months (R2&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.035; p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.011) was not significant at 12 months. This hypothesis-generating follow-up suggests more durable benefit with PD; larger trials powered for long-term clinical and microbiome outcomes are warranted.

Composition of foods commonly used in diets for persons with diabetes.

Information on the carbohydrate, protein, fat, kilocalorie, and plant fiber content of 152 common foods has been collated. These data are based on information currently available and will need to be modified and updated as more information emerges. These data are presented in six tables that follow the format of the commonly used Exchange Lists for Meal Planning for patients with diabetes mellitus.

Anorexia nervosa in boys.

The literature on primary anorexia nervosa in the male is reviewed and the case histories of 3 new patients are reported. Most surveys comment on the rarity of the syndrome in the male, with the sex ratio in the range of 1 in 10 to 1 in 20. The patients reported here had certain features in common. All the mothers and fathers were overweight, but obesity was marked only in the fathers, who also showed moderate to severe degrees of alcoholism. The mothers were oversensitive, insecure individuals, and the marriages suffered in proportion to the severity of the husband's alcoholism. Preoccupation with food was observed on home visits. There was overt mutual hostility between each father and anorexic son; the boys showed pronounced obsessional traits in their personalities. Dieting in order to ameliorate real or feared obesity was a first step in the development of the syndrome in each boy. In the past 3 years an equal number of boys and girls (new patients) have been referred for treatment in the psychiatric unit. Speculative reasons for this are discussed.

The free diet: 150 cases personally followed-up after 10 to 18 years.

One-hundred-and-fifty overweight patients, who were given advice about losing weight during a period of eight years in a suburban general practice of 2000 individuals in the British National Health Service, have been followed up for a minimum of 10 years. Treatment consisting of attempting to modify the individual's eating habits by means of a free diet low in carbohydrate and moderate in fat has resulted in some measure of success in about three-quarters of the individuals and almost one half (48 per cent) maintained significant weight loss at the end of the period. Frequent consultations and the judicious exhibition of anorectic drugs have both played a part in producing these results.

Urinary excretion of conjugated homovanillic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and vanillic acid by persons on their usual diet and patients with neuroblastoma.

We report quantitative data on beta-glucuronidase- and sulfatase-hydrolyzable conjugates of homovanillic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and vanillic acid in the urine of 20 apparently normal and healthy control persons and of three patients with neuroblastoma. We used organic solvent extraction and capillary gas chromatography. There was considerable person-to-person variation in the conjugation percentages calculated. Mean conjugated percentages of the four compounds for 16 normal healthy persons 2.5--40 years of age were, respectively, 12%, 33%, 14%, and 35%. For newborns and patients with neuroblastoma, these percentages were somewhat different. Increased amounts of vanillic acid were found in the urine of the patients with neuroblastoma, but results of a small metabolic study in rats suggest that this increase most probably is of dietary origin.

Fiber and diabetes.

Plant fibers have important influences on gastrointestinal physiology and the absorption of many nutrients. Certain fibers delay the absorption of carbohydrates and result in less postprandial hyperglycemia. Because the intake of plant fibers lowers plasma glucose concentrations and decreases glycosuria, high-fiber foods may be useful in the management of diabetes mellitus. Consumption of selected fibers and fiber-rich foods lowers serum cholesterol values and may lower triglyceride concentrations. Plant fiber intake may lead to mineral depletion or vitamin deficiency, but this has not been observed in several long-term studies. Further work is required to delineate the therapeutic utility of plant fibers in the diet of persons with diabetes and to assess the undesirable effects of fiber intake. In our opinion, persons with diabetes who are eating very low-fiber diets would benefit from an increase in plant fiber intake from whole grains, legumes, and vegetables.

[Study of an homogeneous population of obeses people and of its regression of weight under hypocaloric diet in hospital. II. - Weight loss (author's transl)].

A study of 79 obese patients who were hospitalized and treated with a low calorie diet demonstrated that the weight loss occurred in a univocal manner, according to a semilogarithmic law. It was not influenced, as far as initial results were concerned, by the age, sex, or morphotype of the patient, or whether weight gain was recent or of long-standing. Factors affecting results, however, are the existence of functional signs, the amount of natriuresis during the first few days, and the quantity of alcohol ingested regularly. Short term results, one month after leaving hospital, appear to be moderate only. A diet supplying 800 calories causes weight loss at the expense of body fat. Individual variations in minimal calorie requirements during the treatment can be used as a basis for prescribing a personalized supplementary diet.

The influence of linoleic acid intake on the excretion of urinary prostaglandin metabolites.

The influence of linoleic acid intake on human prostaglandin formation was investigated by gas chromatographic determination of dimethyl tetranorprostanedioate, a derivative of the major urinary end products of prostaglandin metabolism. Six healthy female volunteers were put on liquid formula diets. Each person had a linoleic acid supply of 0, 10, and 50 g per day for periods of two weeks. At the end of these periods the corresponding average amounts of tetranorprostanedioic acid in urine were 92, 175, and 326 microgram per day.

[The effect of lipid level lowering diets on bile lipids and plasma lipoproteins in normal persons].

The effects of two fat-modified diets, one rich in polyunsaturated and the other in oleic acids, were studied in 10 healthy young males with regard to bile lipid composition, plasma lipids and lipoproteins. The two experimental diets were given for 2 weeks each and findings compared with those from the subject's normal diet. The fat-modified diets had marked but comparable effects on plasma total cholesterol (decreases by 23% and 16% respectively), on LDL-cholesterol (decreases by 27% and 17% respectively) and on HDL-cholesterol (decreases by 26% and 27% respectively). HDL apolipoproteins A-I and A-II were unaffected. Therefore, the apo A-I/HDL-cholesterol and apo A-II/HDL-cholesterol ratios significantly increased. The "lithogenic index" as a measure for the relationship of cholesterol to bile acids and phospholipids, and thus for the solubility of cholesterol in gallbladder bile, was not affected by the lipid lowering diets, which therefore should not increase the risk of cholelithiasis.

A study of the efficacy of the Feingold diet on hyperkinetic children. Some favorable personal observations.

A study was conducted with 59 children, ages 6 to 14 years, heterogeneously grouped together under the diagnosis of the hyperkinetic, minimal brain dysfunction syndrome. Of 32 who were able to tolerate the Feingold salicylate-low and additive-free diet, 11 were markedly improved. A placebo effect could not definitely be ruled out, but the startling changes seen in patients who had been followed for years with other forms of therapy suggest strongly that this improvement was genuine.

Protein diets for obesity: metabolic and clinical aspects.

The alleged benefits of protein diets remain unproven, since research data on the safety and long-term utility of protein products as the principal or only source of nutrients for weight reduction programs are as yet insufficient. First, it is uncertain whether the decreases in body protein turnover occurring with these diets are consistent with normal function over long periods, though net balance of protein is obtained. Second, the main advantage to the patient is the suppression of appetite by the ketoacidosis, but it is the ketoacidosis that causes many of the untoward effects. Third, the addition of carbohydrate to a protein diet does not mitigate the benefit of the protein and prevents most of the untoward effects. Fourth, there is clearly no advantage of "predigested" proteins (which are generally poorer in quality than normal high-protein foods) except for the psychologic factor of being given "medication" for the "disease" of obesity. Fifth, there is a distinct danger of deficiencies of micronutrients developing with prolonged consumption of unsupplemented diets. Sixth, the cardiac disorders associated with death in persons taking these diets have not been shown to be coincidental rather than a direct consequence of the diets.In the present state of understanding of protein diets, they should be supervised only by specially trained physicians in rigorous multidisciplinary programs, preferably those with ongoing research. Only individuals free from contraindications should be so treated. Until compelling data proving the safety and efficacy of these diets are forthcoming, the general public should be counselled against their use.

The three-consideration diet revisited.

Three-consideration diets based on the 1974 Recommended Dietary Allowances, current food composition data, and October 1975 retail prices in Atlanta have been developed for a reference family of four persons. While the diets are less than satisfactory as to variety and palatability, they have a greater degree of variety than three-consideration diets published in earlier decades.

Polyunsaturated meat and dairy products in fat-modified food patterns for hyperlipidemia.

Polyunsaturated meat and dairy products were compared with their saturated counterparts to determine their usefulness in a fat-modified diet for hyperlipidemic persons and their spouses. These polyunsaturated animal products were produced by feeding cattle a supplement of oil droplets coated with denatured protein. As a result, the polyunsaturated fatty acid content was 27 to 28 per cent of the meat fat and butterfat; saturated fatty acids (C12:0 to tc16:0) were 18 to 19 per cent. Of the eleven free-living subjects three were normocholesteremic, three had type IIa hyperlipidemia and five had type VI (IIb). In the fourteen-week study, an adjustment period of three weeks was followed by two consecutive experimental periods of four weeks each, then by a three-week follow-up period. During the adjustment period, participants continued to follow their usual eating patterns. During both experimental periods all followed the same prescribed fat modified food pattern using polyunsaturated margarine and oil. Five participants ate polyunsaturated beef and dairy products during the first experimental period and their saturated counterparts in the second; six participants ate saturated products first, then polyunsaturated. During the follow-up period, all participants selected all their own food. Serum cholesterol levels in five participants who had not previously followed a fat-modified diet were reduced by 18 per cent with polyunsaturated animal products and 11 per cent with saturated products. Serum cholesterol in six participants, previously on a fat-modified diet, was not significantly changed with polyunsaturated products. In ten of eleven participants, serum cholesterol levels were an average of 6 per cent lower with polyunsaturated products than with saturated products. It is concluded that polyunsaturated animal products are suitable for use in fat-modified food patterns for reducing hyperlipidemia, with some restrictions in the amount of polyunsaturated animal fat and with the inclusion of polyunsaturated oil and margarine.
