About this Research Topic
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic diseases with multifactorial aetiology. They are diagnosed in patients with a genetic predisposition who have been shown to have abnormalities of the immune system, most often in correlation with certain environmental factors.
The most commonly identified environmental factors are physical inactivity, chronic psychological stress, and poor dietary habits. Diet is strongly associated with the gut microbiota and intestinal dysbiosis has been identified as a potential predisposing factor to IBD. Diet can also influence epigenetic changes in the host. However, the mechanism of how individual dietary components affect the gut microbiota and epigenetics is poorly understood. Therefore, the main purpose of the special issue is to collect original and review articles and others on the effects of individual dietary components on the intestinal microbiota and the potential relationship to host epigenetics and immune system in IBD.
Our main aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of information on the effects of individual nutrients on the gut microbiota, host epigenetics in IBD. Moreover, with the above ingredients indirectly affecting the patient's immune system, basic drug therapy of the patient can be supported to induce disease remission. Collecting this data may be helpful in developing future nutritional strategies depending on various clinical aspects of the disease. To ensure the diversity of approaches and viewpoints of authors, we will collect different types of article, such as original articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and others.
this collection of publications, we will consider the literature on the relationship between microbiota, eigenetics and nutrition, with particular emphasis on inflammatory bowel diseases. We would like to indicate directions on how to optimize the treatment of patients with IBD and how to prevent disease exacerbations. We will discuss the following topics:
1. Changes in the gut microbiota influenced by selected nutrients in IBD
2. Epigenetic effects of nutrients in IBD
3. Nutritional factors influencing the occurrence of disease, active phase/remissions (IBD),
4. Nutritional strategies in patients with IBD depending on the clinical condition
5. Immunomodulation by Gut Microbiome on IBD
6. Inflammatory bowel disease and immunonutrition
7. Gut dysbiosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
