Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with dietary restrictions and food- and drink-driven daily life limitations. Food-related quality of life (FR-QoL) is still an under-addressed issue in IBD. AIM We aimed to study determinants of FR-QoL in an IBD cohort, namely objective measures of disease activity. METHODS A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in a Tertiary Hospital, including adult patients with IBD (cases) and blood donors or subjects referred for colorectal polypectomies (controls). Participants answered an anonymous multimodal questionnaire including sociodemographic and clinical data, the validated FR-QoL-29, and the SIBDQ tools. Patients' disease activity was previously assessed by a physician using symptom-based scores and biomarkers (Harvey-Bradshaw index, partial Mayo score, fecal calprotectin). RESULTS A total of 239 patients with IBD and 126 controls were included. Patients with active disease had poorer FR-QoL than patients in remission (80.0 [56.0-99.0] vs. 103.5 [81.0-129.9], p < 0.001). Still, patients with IBD had significantly lower FR-QoL compared with controls (99.0 [76.0-126.0] vs. 126.0 [102.8-143.0], p < 0.001), irrespective of disease activity. FR-QoL correlated with health-related quality of life, measured by SIBDQ (r = 0.490, p < 0.001), and was significantly impaired by patients' depressive humor (84.0 [61.0-112.0] vs. 108.0 [88.0-130.5], p < 0.001). Globally, FR-QoL compromise was mostly related to persistent worries about food, concerns about food-related symptoms, and life disruption due to eating and drinking. CONCLUSIONS Patients with IBD showed significant FR-QoL impairment, irrespective of disease type and activity. Related psychosocial factors, such as the patient's affective status and fear around eating, warrant a need for a multidisciplinary approach to IBD, including tailored nutritional counseling.

Abstract
AIMS This review aimed to explore and describe the dietary information needs of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease and sources of information. METHODS A scoping review of English language articles and grey literature, using electronic databases with a predefined search strategy was undertaken. Data were synthesised based on the identified variables (e.g. dietary information needs and sources of dietary information) corresponding to the aims of this review. RESULTS Forty-six studies were included, reporting data from 7557 people with inflammatory bowel disease, of which 58.6% had Crohn's disease and 60.1% were males. Dietary information was rated very important and appeared to be influenced by the disease course. The need to discuss it is heightened at important stages, namely diagnosis and relapse. Dietary information was described broadly and included advice about foods to avoid and dietary advice for symptoms management. No major differences were noted in the dietary information needs of people with Crohn's disease compared to ulcerative colitis. The main sources of dietary information were the gastroenterologist (36%-98%), the internet (9%-60%) and non-dietetic professionals (84.7%). CONCLUSION This review highlights limited literature describing the dietary information needs of people with inflammatory bowel disease. Importantly, the limited access to specialised dietary advice for this cohort is concerning. Future studies are required to explore not only the nuances in the needs of those with active disease and in remission, but to further understand issues of access to specialised dietary advice to provide holistic person-centred care desired by this cohort.

Abstract
AIM Nutritional therapies for inflammatory bowel disease are increasingly recommended. This study aimed to gain insight from patients, dietitians and gastroenterologists into inflammatory bowel disease dietetic care in New Zealand. METHODS Mixed-methods surveys were developed and then distributed online to patients with inflammatory bowel disease and dietitians and gastroenterologists that care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Quantitative survey data were analysed using nonparametric statistical tests. Qualitative survey data were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Responses were received from 406 inflammatory bowel disease patients, 79 dietitians and 40 gastroenterologists. Half of the patients (52%) had seen a dietitian for nutrition advice. Patients more likely to have seen a dietitian were/had: Crohn's disease (p = 0.001), previous bowel surgery (p < 0.001), younger (p < 0.001) or receiving biologic therapy (p = 0.005). Two-thirds (66%) of patients found the dietitian advice at least moderately useful. A common theme from patient comments was that dietitians needed better knowledge of inflammatory bowel disease. Almost all (97%) gastroenterologists reported that their inflammatory bowel disease patients ask about nutrition; 57% reported that there were inadequate dietitians to meet patient needs. Over 50% of dietitians saw inflammatory bowel disease patients infrequently and 39% were not confident that their knowledge of the nutritional management of inflammatory bowel disease was current. Dietitians desired greater links with the inflammatory bowel disease multidisciplinary team. CONCLUSION Current inflammatory bowel disease dietetic services in New Zealand are inadequate. Standardised care, increased resourcing, dietitian training in inflammatory bowel disease, and stronger links with the multidisciplinary team are suggested to improve services.

Higher Fiber Intake is Associated with Reduced Risk of Related Surgery among Individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Prospective Cohort Study. J Nutr 2023; 153:2274-2282. [PMID: 37330142 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the effects of dietary fiber on adverse outcomes in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is insufficient and controversial. OBJECTIVES We aimed to prospectively explore the association between dietary fiber intake and the risk of IBD-related surgery. METHODS We identified 5580 individuals with diagnosed IBD [Crohn disease (CD, n = 1908) and ulcerative colitis (UC, n = 3672)] at baseline in the UK Biobank via electronic medical records and self-reported information. Dietary fiber intake was estimated by a partial fiber score derived from a valid food frequency questionnaire. IBD-related surgery (enterotomy, perianal surgery, and others) was ascertained via inpatient data. Cox proportional model was applied to estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of dietary fiber in quartiles for the risk of IBD-related surgery. RESULTS During a mean follow-up period of 11.2 y, we documented 624 IBD-related surgery among 5580 individuals with IBD (mean age, 57.3; 52.8% females). Compared with individuals in the lowest quartiles, those with second to fourth quartiles of fiber intake were associated with 23% (95% CI: 5%, 38%, P = 0.015), 29% (95% CI: 11%, 43%, P = 0.003), and 28% (95% CI: 10%, 43%, P = 0.005) reduced risk (P-trend = 0.002) of IBD-related surgery. Similar associations were observed in CD (P-trend = 0.005) but not UC (P-trend = 0.131). We observed inverse associations of fiber in vegetables and fruits (P-trend = 0.017 and 0.007) but positive associations of fiber in bread (P-trend = 0.046) with the risk of IBD-related surgery. CONCLUSIONS Higher intake of fiber is associated with reduced IBD-related surgery risk in patients with IBD with CD but not UC.

Abstract
Background and aim The identification of, and timely intervention for, patients with impaired nutritional status may reduce inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complications. This study aimed to develop and validate an IBD-specific nutrition self-screening tool (IBD-NST) that identifies patients at nutrition risk. Methods An expert IBD panel was consulted to support development of an IBD-NST. The tool was assessed in different cohorts of patients attending IBD outpatient clinics for face, content and convergent validity and repeat reliability. The tool was compared with (i) the malnutrition universal screening tool to assess face validity and (ii) subjective global assessment (SGA), hand-grip strength (HGS) and mid-arm muscle circumference to assess convergent validity. Tool content was informed by agreement between assessment tools, sensitivity analysis and chi-squared tests. The IBD-NST was completed electronically twice, 1 week apart to assess repeat reliability using observed agreement and kappa statistic. Statistical significance assumed at p < 0.05. Results In total, 282 IBD patients (175 with Crohn's disease) were recruited to validate the IBD-NST. The final validated IBD-NST includes body mass index (BMI), weight loss and IBD-specific nutrition-focussed questions which were acceptable to patients. It identified patients at risk of malnutrition, moderately or severely malnourished patients and patients at nutritional risk. The IBD-NST identified 54/179 (30%) patients at moderate or high nutrition risk and had excellent repeat reliability in 85 patients [r = 0.77 (95% CI 0.669 to 0.746)]. Conclusion The IBD-NST is a self-screening tool, validated for use as either a paper or e-health version, that identifies patients at nutrition risk who are likely to benefit from dietetic assessment and intervention. Furthermore, patients with IBD symptoms who are concerned about their dietary intake can potentially access dietetic care more easily therefore encouraging greater self-management of IBD-related symptoms. The routine use of the IBD-NST as a self-screening tool would enable patient-led care in the outpatient setting and may facilitate timely access to dietetic care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increased awareness of diet and nutrition being integral to the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), there are gaps in the knowledge of IBD healthcare providers regarding nutrition. Furthermore, high quality evidence on nutritional assessment and dietary management of IBD is limited. A Delphi consensus from a panel of experts allows for best-practice guidelines to be developed, especially where high quality evidence is limited. The aim was to develop guidelines for the nutritional assessment and dietary management of IBD using an eDelphi online consensus agreement platform. METHODS Seventeen research topics related to IBD and nutrition were systematically reviewed. Searches in Cochrane, Embase®, Medline® and Scopus® electronic databases were performed. GRADE was used to develop recommendations. Experts from the IBD community (healthcare professionals and patients with IBD) were invited to vote anonymously on the recommendations in a custom-built online platform. Three rounds of voting were carried out with updated iterations of the recommendations and evaluative text based on feedback from the previous round. RESULTS From 23,824 non-duplicated papers, 167 were critically appraised. Fifty-five participants completed three rounds of voting and 14 GRADE statements and 42 practice statements achieved 80% consensus. Comprehensive guidance related to nutrition assessment, nutrition screening and dietary management is provided. CONCLUSIONS Guidelines on the nutritional assessment and dietary management of IBD have been developed using evidence-based consensus to improve equality of care. The statements and practice statements developed demonstrate the level of agreement and the quality and strength of the guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food-related quality of life (FRQoL) encompasses the psychosocial elements of eating and drinking. The FRQoL of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease has not yet been assessed. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the validated FR-Qol-29 instrument in children with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Children diagnosed with CD, a shared home environment healthy sibling, and healthy control subjects 6 to 17 years of age were recruited to this single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study. Children or their parent or guardian completed the FR-QoL-29 instrument. Internal consistency was assessed by completing Cronbach's α. Construct validity was established by correlating the CD FR-QoL-29 sum scores with the Physician Global Assessment and Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index scores. The discriminant validity was analyzed using a 1-way analysis of variance, and a Spearman's correlation coefficient test was completed to identify any correlations associated with FRQoL. RESULTS Sixty children or their parent or guardian completed the FR-QoL-29 instrument (10 children in each subgroup). The internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.938). The mean FR-QoL-29 sum scores were 94.3 ± 27.6 for CD, 107.6 ± 20 for siblings, and 113.7 ± 13.8 for control subjects (P = .005). Those with higher disease activity had worse FRQoL (Physician Global Assessment P = .021 and Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index P = .004). Inflammatory bowel disease FR-QoL-29 sum scores correlated with weight (P = .027), height (P = .035), body mass index (P = .023), and age (P = .015). CONCLUSIONS FRQoL is impaired in children with CD. Healthy siblings also have poorer FRQoL than control subjects. Several clinical factors are associated with poorer FRQoL in children with CD including age and level of nutritional risk (weight, height, and body mass index). Further research is required validate these findings and to develop strategies for the prevention or treatment of impaired FRQoL in children with CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic gastrointestinal diseases that negatively affect the enjoyment of food and engagement in social and cultural gatherings. Such experiences may promote psychosocial challenges, an aspect of IBD often overlooked and under-supported in clinical settings and research. OBJECTIVES This study explored the psychosocial experiences that young adults with IBD have with food via a qualitative patient-led research process. METHODS Trained patient researchers conducted this study by engaging peers via semi-structured interviews and focus groups in a three-step co-design process. Participants (n = 9) identified the research topic (SET), explored the topic and identified emerging themes (COLLECT), refined themes and made recommendations for healthcare system change (REFLECT). RESULTS Themes that emerged included: 'Experimenting with Food', 'Evolution Over Time', 'Diet Changes are Emotional' and 'Role of Stigma'. Participants identified the significance and frustrations of repeated testing and experimenting with food compatibility, and noted nuances in food relationships as they gain knowledge and experience over time. They emphasized the importance of maintaining a sense of hope throughout and wished to impart this to newly diagnosed patients. CONCLUSION Participants experience numerous psychosocial challenges as they strive to manage their diet, noting gaps in support available from IBD practitioners. Participants made practical recommendations for healthcare system change to improve patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of sharing stories and collaboratively including patients in the development of new services and protocols. Authors recommend further research in this area to build a body of knowledge and support that helps IBD patients maintain hope while navigating challenges with food. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION The first four authors on this paper were the lead researchers in this study's design and analysis and identify as patients; they conducted the research with this identity at the forefront following a peer-to-peer research model. These authors were mentored by patient researchers who also contributed to the manuscript, and the research process itself was co-lead and directed by other patient participants and consultants. Results and recommendations coming from this paper came directly from patient participants.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The mission of the IBD Quality Care Evaluation Center (IBDQCC) is to establish indicators of quality of care (QoC), certify IBD units to generate a network of IBD quality care, and eventually improve the national level of IBD healthcare. The final list of 28 core and 13 secondary IBD QoC indicators suitable for the healthcare system in China were selected using a Delphi consensus methodology. Units that met all core indicators were qualified as "regional"; units that met all core indicators together with more than 50% of the secondary indicators received a rating of "excellence." Using the selected QoC core indicators for certifying IBD units, a network of IBD quality care units covering the majority of IBD patients in China was established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Certain foods are reported as gut symptom triggers in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], and fructans are shown to worsen non-inflammatory symptoms in inactive IBD, which may result in self-imposed dietary restrictions. The aim of this study was to investigate nutrient and FODMAP intakes, and the relationship between gut symptoms and dietary intake, in IBD. METHODS Nutrient, fibre, and FODMAP intakes were estimated using 7-day food records in patients with active IBD [Active IBD], inactive IBD with non-inflammatory gut symptoms [Inactive IBD-GI], inactive IBD without gut symptoms [Inactive IBD], and healthy controls. Nutrient intakes, numbers of participants achieving national recommendations, and food-related quality of life [FR-QoL] were compared across study groups. RESULTS Food diaries were obtained from 232 patients with IBD [65 Active IBD, 86 Inactive IBD-GI, 81 Inactive IBD] and 84 healthy controls. Patients with Active IBD had significantly lower intakes of numerous micronutrients, including iron, folate, and vitamin C, compared with controls. All IBD groups consumed less total fibre [4.5 to 5.8 g/day] than controls [p = 0.001], and total FODMAP and fructan intakes were lower in Active IBD compared with controls. Strikingly, FR-QoL was significantly lower in all IBD groups compared with controls [all p = 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed lower intakes of fibre, FODMAPs, and micronutrients, in addition to poorer FR-QoL, in Active IBD and Inactive IBD-GI with gut symptoms compared with healthy controls. Future research should address dietary restrictions responsible for these differences.

Nutrients 2021; 13:3899. [PMID: 34836154 PMCID: PMC8623109 DOI: 10.3390/nu13113899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate identification of malnutrition and preoperative nutritional care in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) surgery is mandatory. There is no validated nutritional screening tool for IBD patients. We developed a novel nutritional screening tool for IBD patients requiring surgery and compared it with other tools. METHODS we included 62 consecutive patients scheduled for elective surgery. The IBD Nutritional Screening tool (NS-IBD) was developed to screen patients for further comprehensive assessment. NRS-2002, MUST, MST, MIRT, SaskIBD-NR are compared with the new test. All screening tests were subsequently related to new GLIM criteria. RESULTS according to GLIM criteria, 25 (40%) IBD patients were malnourished (15 CD and 10 UC, 33% vs. 63%, p = 0.036). Stage 1 malnutrition was reported in ten patients, while stage 2 was detected in 15 patients. The comparison of each nutritional risk tool with GLIM criteria showed sensitivity of 0.52, 0.6, 0.6, 0.84, 0.84 and 0.92 for SASKIBD-NR, MUST, MST, NRS-2002, MIRT, and the new NS-IBD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS in IBD, currently adopted nutritional screening tools are characterized by a low sensitivity when malnutrition diagnosis is performed with recent GLIM criteria. Our proposed tool to detect malnutrition performed the best in detecting patients that may require nutritional assessment and preoperative intervention.

Combination of sarcopenia and high visceral fat predict poor outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease. Eur J Clin Nutr 2021; 75:1491-1498. [PMID: 33531636 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-021-00857-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia and visceral fat independently predict poor outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD). However, combined influence of these parameters on outcomes is unknown, and was investigated in the present study. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated skeletal muscle index (SMI-cross-sectional area of five skeletal muscles normalized for height), visceral and subcutaneous fat area and their ratio (VF/SC) on single-slice computed tomography (CT) images at L3 vertebrae in CD patients (CT done: January 2012-December 2015, patients followed till December 2019). Sarcopenia was defined as SMI < 36.5 cm2/m2 and 30.2 cm2/m2 for males and females, respectively. Disease severity, behavior, and long-term outcomes (surgery and disease course) were compared with respect to sarcopenia and VF/SC ratio. RESULTS Forty-four patients [age at onset: 34.4 ± 14.1 years, median disease duration: 48 (24-95) months, follow-up duration: 32 (12-53.5) months, males: 63.6%] were included. Prevalence of sarcopenia was 43%, more in females, but independent of age, disease severity, behavior and location. More patients with sarcopenia underwent surgery (31.6% vs 4%, p = 0.01). VF/SC was significantly higher in patients who underwent surgery (1.76 + 1.31 vs 0.9 + 0.41, p = 0.002), and a cutoff of 0.88 could predict surgery with sensitivity and specificity of 71% and 65% respectively. On survival analysis, probability of remaining free of surgery was lower in patients with sarcopenia (59.6% vs 94.1% p = 0.01) and those with VF/SC > 0.88 (66.1% vs 91.1%, p = 0.1), and still lower in those with both sarcopenia and VF/SC > 0.88 than those with either or none (38% vs 82% vs 100%, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Combination of sarcopenia and high visceral fat predict worse outcomes in CD than either.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary misconceptions and behaviours may worsen outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This scoping review aims to examine the dietary beliefs and behaviours of individuals with IBD and identify evidence of food avoidance, dietary restriction or disordered eating and any association with quality of life (QoL). METHODOLOGY A systematic search of CINAL, EMBASE, MEDLINE was conducted. Primary, peer-reviewed studies in English examining dietary beliefs and dietary behaviours or diet and quality of life in adults with inflammatory bowel disease were included. Key dietary terminology was pre-defined. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies met inclusion criteria. A range of quantitative self-reported questionnaires (16/29), qualitative interviews (1/29) and mixed methods (7/29) were used to measure dietary beliefs and dietary behaviours. A high prevalence of food avoidance (28-89%) and restrictive dietary behaviours (41-93%) were identified. Factors associated with these behaviours included a diagnosis of CD, perceived active disease, female sex, dietary misinformation, and fears of adverse bowel symptoms. Diet and QoL remains largely unexplored in IBD beyond two recent studies demonstrating impairment of food-related quality of life in IBD. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of self-reported food avoidance and restrictive dietary behaviour exists in people with IBD. The psychosocial impact of IBD-related dietary behaviour is poorly understood. Validated tools with predefined diet terminology and objective markers of disease activity are required to measure dietary behaviour in future prospective studies, using food-related quality of life as an outcome measure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measuring food-related quality of life (FRQoL) quantifies the psychosocial impact of eating and drinking. FRQoL and associated factors are not well explored in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), despite IBD being a chronic disease affecting the digestive tract. The present study aimed to characterise and identify any patient or disease-related predictors of FRQoL in individuals with IBD. METHODS Adults with a formal diagnosis of IBD were recruited to a prospective multicentre cross-sectional study between April 2018 and December 2019. Participants completed questionnaires measuring FRQoL (FRQoL-29), clinical disease activity (Harvey Bradshaw Index and Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index), restrictive eating behaviour (Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Screen), mental health (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21) and other patient and disease-related variables. A multivariable regression was performed to identify factors associated with FRQoL. RESULTS One hundred and eight participants completed the questionnaires (n = 39, Crohn's disease; n = 69, ulcerative colitis). The mean FRQoL was 79 (95% confidence interval = 75-84) (poor, 0; superior, 145). Poorer FRQoL was observed in those with restrictive eating behaviour associated with fear of a negative consequence from eating (p < 0.0001) and reduced appetite (p < 0.030). Greater FRQoL was observed in those with lower disease activity (p < 0.0001) and previous IBD surgery (p = 0.024). FRQoL was not associated either way by IBD phenotype, duration, or gender. The majority of participants obtained their dietary information from the internet (60%) or gastroenterologist (46%). CONCLUSIONS FRQoL in people with IBD is poorer in those with restrictive eating behaviours and clinically active disease. Interestingly, it was greater in those with previous IBD surgery. Further research is required to validate these associations and explore longitudinal effects of poor FRQoL on patient outcomes and potential strategies for prevention or management of impaired FRQoL in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may impact the extent to which food, eating, and drinking bring satisfaction and enjoyment to peoples' lives, and this may impact dietary intake. The prevalence of an impaired food-related quality of life (FR-QoL), its associated factors, and its impact on diet have not been explored. OBJECTIVES To measure the prevalence and nature of the burden of impaired FR-QoL in people with IBD, the factors associated with these, and their associations with nutrient intake. METHODS We recruited 1576 outpatients with IBD (≥16 years old) in person from 7 IBD centers across the United Kingdom. Patients completed validated questionnaires to measure their FR-QoL, quality of life (QoL), distress, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Dietary intake was recorded using the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer FFQ. A health professional recorded disease activity, Montreal classification, blood results, BMI, and malnutrition risk. FR-QoL was regressed onto explanatory variables using univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS Data from 1221 patients were available (77.4% response; Crohn's disease, 65%; ulcerative colitis, 35%). The FR-QoL mean (± SD) score was 80.8 ± 26.9, with wide ranges (minimum, 29; maximum, 145). Following multivariable regression, the strongest associations with FR-QoL were the number of recent disease flares (5 flares β = -12.7; P < 0.001), the IBD-specific QoL (β = 0.33; P < 0.001), and IBD-related distress (β = -0.26; P < 0.001). Patients with poorer FR-QoL had lower intakes of fiber (nonstarch polysaccharide; Q1 to Q5 difference = 2.1 g/d; 95% CI: 0.4-3.8; P = 0.048), calcium (192.6 mg/d; 95% CI: 112.5-272.6; P < 0.001), phosphorus (167 mg/d; 95% CI: 58-276; P = 0.041), and magnesium (34.4 mg/d; 95% CI: 9.3-59.4; P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Impaired FR-QoL is prevalent in IBD and is associated with recurrent disease flares, a reduced IBD-specific QoL, and greater IBD-related distress. A poorer FR-QoL was associated with lower intakes of key nutrients of importance to IBD, including those relating to gut health and bone mineralization.

Abstract
Purpose Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of the sucrase-isomaltase (SI) enzyme complex within the brush border membrane of the small intestine. Mutations in the SI gene result in abnormal synthesis and/or incorrect transport of the SI enzyme. Patients with CSID generally have reduced sucrase activity, but levels of isomaltase activity range from absent to almost normal. This study sought to better understand the experience of patients with CSID prior to, during, and after their diagnosis and its subsequent treatment with sacrosidase. Methods This was a cross-sectional interview study conducted in conjunction with a longitudinal, observational study of US patients prescribed and taking sacrosidase for at least three consecutive months as treatment for CSID. The observational study included both children and adults. Results This qualitative interview study explored the experiences of 43 adult and pediatric patients (n = 8 adults and n = 35 children/adolescents) with CSID pre-, during, and post-diagnosis. Findings suggest that a CSID diagnosis is particularly problematic given the disparate range of more commonly understood gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. After diagnosis and treatment with sacrosidase, participants reported considerable improvement in symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQL), yet symptoms persist that continue to affect daily life, indicating areas of potential unmet need. Conclusion Educating clinicians about CSID may help improve the overall diagnosis experience. As this research is the first of its kind in CSID, additional research, qualitative and quantitative, will be important to furthering the understanding of HRQL impact and unmet need experienced by this population and identifying ways to best meet those needs.

Abstract
Introduction: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) carries a significant burden on an individual's quality-of-life and on the healthcare system. The majority of patients use dietary modifications to manage their symptoms, despite limited research to support these changes. There is emerging data that a plant-based diet will be of benefit to IBD patients.Areas covered: A literature review on the pathogenesis and potential benefits of dietary management of IBD.Expert opinion: A Westernized diet has been associated with IBD risk and relapse; hence a plant-based diet may be of benefit to IBD patients through reducing inflammation and restoring symbiosis. Dietary therapy can be an important adjunct therapy, however, better quality studies are still required.

Abstract
Purpose: A growing body of scientific evidence supports the role of food and diet in the pathogenesis and management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, little is known about the role of food and diet from the perspectives of pediatric patients and their parents. This study aimed to explore how children and adolescents with IBD and their parents coped with the illness through food and diet in their daily lives. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 28 children and adolescents with IBD, 26 parents and one grandparent. Results: Two major themes, dietary strategies and family food practices, were identified through thematic analysis. There were three types of dietary strategies: food avoidance and moderation; following a specific diet; and healthy eating. For family food practices, two subthemes were identified: impact on grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking; and maintaining routine and normality. Conclusions: Our findings have important implications for the clinical care of pediatric IBD. Notably, IBD not only influenced the food practices of the pediatric patients, but also their parents and other family members. Healthcare professionals should consider the family unit when giving nutritional advice or developing nutritional guidelines. Personalized nutritional counselling and ongoing nutritional assessment are also warranted.

Abstract
Stress is associated with increased Crohn's Disease (CD) activity. This pilot study tested whether pediatric patients with CD reporting higher levels of perceived stress exhibited differences in the fecal microbiome and metabolome. The perceived stress scale (PSS) questionnaire was administered within 2 days of collecting a stool sample for microbiome (using 16S rRNA gene sequencing) and metabolome (using NMR metabolomics) analyses. Higher levels of perceived stress were correlated with increased disease activity on the short Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (sPCDAI). Patients with High PSS scores vs. Low PSS scores based on a median split had significantly lower relative abundances of Firmicutes and Anaerostipes, as well as higher relative abundances of Parabacteroides. Fecal alanine and nicotinate were also significantly different in patients with High vs. Low PSS Scores. This pilot study suggests that the fecal microbiome and metabolome differs in pediatric patients with CD and high perceived stress.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the principal forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Both represent chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which displays heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management relies on understanding and tailoring evidence-based interventions by clinicians in partnership with patients. This guideline for management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults over 16 years of age was developed by Stakeholders representing UK physicians (British Society of Gastroenterology), surgeons (Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland), specialist nurses (Royal College of Nursing), paediatricians (British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition), dietitians (British Dietetic Association), radiologists (British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology), general practitioners (Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology) and patients (Crohn's and Colitis UK). A systematic review of 88 247 publications and a Delphi consensus process involving 81 multidisciplinary clinicians and patients was undertaken to develop 168 evidence- and expert opinion-based recommendations for pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions, as well as optimal service delivery in the management of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided regarding indications for, initiation and monitoring of immunosuppressive therapies, nutrition interventions, pre-, peri- and postoperative management, as well as structure and function of the multidisciplinary team and integration between primary and secondary care. Twenty research priorities to inform future clinical management are presented, alongside objective measurement of priority importance, determined by 2379 electronic survey responses from individuals living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including patients, their families and friends.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extensive research has provided an important understanding of the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on nutrient intake, requirements and metabolism. By contrast, there has been limited research examining the psychosocial aspects of food, eating and drinking in IBD. The present study aimed to address this unmet need. METHODS Qualitative semi-structured interviews regarding the perceptions and psychosocial impact of food, eating and drinking were undertaken with 28 purposively selected people with IBD. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Colaizzi's framework was used to structure the data analysis. RESULTS Five major themes were identified. IBD symptoms and both surgical and medical treatments were described as having a direct impact on eating and drinking, with participants also using different food-related strategies to control IBD symptoms. These included a process of experimentation to identify trigger foods, following a severely restricted and limited diet, eating small portions, and eating more frequently. However, their limited knowledge about if, and how, food affected their symptoms, often resulted in negative coping strategies that impacted on psychosocial functioning, including a lack of enjoyment of eating, being afraid to eat and finding social occasions stressful. Managing food and drinking also made food shopping and preparation more burdensome, creating problems with families, at work and for social life, as well as the need for careful preparation and advanced planning of activities. CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory bowel disease has a profound impact on psychosocial aspects of food and nutrition, which impacts on 'food-related quality of life' (FRQoL). Further research is required to identify interventions that will improve FRQoL in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Diet is regarded as one of the important environmental factors triggering inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Many IBD patients avoid numerous types of foods in fear of disease exacerbation. The aim of the study was to investigate dietary beliefs and food avoidance among pediatric patients with IBD. This questionnaire-based study was conducted in three University-affiliated children's hospitals in Poland. Data were collected from parents of children who were diagnosed with IBD. A total of 155 parents of IBD patients participated in the survey: 104 (67.1%) had a child with Crohn's disease and 51 (32.9%) with ulcerative colitis. Parents of older children and those with longer disease duration predicted diet being considered one of the causative agents of IBD, and differences were statistically significant (P = .01 and P = .04, respectively). Also, patients with a shorter history of disease rarely shared food with other family members (P = .02). In total, 61.5% of patients avoided some kind of food in fear of disease flares. In the parent's opinion, the food the children liked but avoided included fried dishes, sweets (e.g., chocolate, cookies, cakes, candies, jellies), and fast food. Due to their dietary beliefs, parents of children with IBD commonly introduced dietary restrictions for their offspring. Frequent and unjustified food avoidance may influence not only nutritional status but also general well-being of pediatric patients. Our results underscore the urgent need for IBD patients and parents of ill children to receive reliable dietary advice based on strong scientific evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease [CD] patients suffer from nutritional deficiencies when in active disease. We aim to examine calorific intake, macronutrient choice, and disordered eating behaviour in patients with active CD. METHODS CD patients with matched healthy volunteers [HV] were recruited. Active disease was defined by faecal calprotectin >250 µg/g, C-reactive protein 83.8 ± 47.1 mg/dL, or active disease seen on endoscopy or imaging. Symptoms were quantified by Harvey‑Bradshaw Index [HBI]. Calorific intake was assessed by 24-h dietary recall. Disordered eating was assessed using validated questionnaires: Binge Eating Scale [BES]; Power of Food Scale [PFS]; Control of Eating Questionnaire [CoEQ]; Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire [DEBQ]; and Three Factor Eating Questionnaire [TFEQ]. RESULTS Totals of 30 CD (18 male[M]:12 female [F], age 32.3 ± 2.19 years, body mass index [BMI] 24.9 ± 0.8) and 31 matched HV [19 M:12 F, age 32.8 ± 2.0 years, BMI 24.7 ± 0.5] were recruited. Mean faecal calprotectin was 1032.5 ± 176 µg/g, C-reactive protein 8.38 ± 4.71 mg/dL, and HBI 4.8 ± 1. There were no significant differences in calorific intake between groups. Protein intake was lower in the CD cohort [p = 0.03]. Hospital Anxiety and Depression score was higher [p = 0.01] and CoEQ-Positive Mood [p = 0.001] lower in CD. CD patients were characterised by higher BES [p = 0.01] and lower CoEQ Craving Control [p = 0.027], with greater craving for Sweet [p = 0.043] and Savoury [p = 0.021] foods. PFS food Present [p = 0.005], DEBQ Emotional [p =< 0.001], and External Eating [p = 0.022] were significantly higher than among HV. CONCLUSIONS Reduced protein consumption and more prevalent disordered eating behaviour traits were present in CD. Greater binge eating and decreased control of cravings may be attributed to lower mood and higher anxiety observed. Patients may benefit from stronger psychological support with firm dietetic advice for healthy eating.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study sought to determine the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, to analyse the dietary beliefs and behaviours of these patients, to study their body composition, to evaluate their muscular strength and to identify the factors associated with malnutrition in these patients. METHODS This was a prospective, multicentre study. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients from 30 Spanish centres, from the outpatient clinics, were included. A questionnaire of 11 items was applied to obtain data from patients' dietary behaviour and beliefs. Patients who accepted were evaluated to assess their nutritional status using Subjective Global Assessment and body mass index. Body composition was evaluated through bioelectrical impedance. RESULTS A total of 1271 patients were included [51% women, median age 45 years, 60% Crohn's disease]. Of these, 333 patients underwent the nutritional evaluation. A total of 77% of patients declared that they avoided some foods to prevent disease relapse. Eighty-six per cent of patients avoided some foods when they had disease activity because of fear of worsening the flare. Sixty-seven per cent of patients modified their dietary habits after disease diagnosis. The prevalence of malnutrition was 16% [95% confidence interval = 12-20%]. In the multivariate analysis, history of abdominal surgery, active disease and avoidance of some foods during flares were associated with higher risk of malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of malnutrition in inflammatory bowel disease patients was high. We identified some predictive factors of malnutrition. Most of the patients had self-imposed food restrictions, based on their beliefs.

Abstract
The presence of psychological comorbidities, specifically anxiety and depression, is well documented in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The drivers of these conditions typically reflect 4 areas of concern: disease impact, treatment concerns, intimacy, and stigma. Various demographic and disease characteristics increase risk for psychological distress. However, the risk for anxiety and depression is consistent throughout IBD course and is independent of disease activity. Early intervention before psychological distress becomes uncontrolled is ideal, but mental health often is unaddressed during patient visits. Understanding available psychological treatments and establishing referral resources is an important part of the evolution of IBD patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is associated with poor health outcomes. Despite this, screening for malnutrition in the outpatient-setting is not routine and research in the area is limited. The present study aimed to evaluate whether agreement between malnutrition screening completed by patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) could be achieved by comparing patient self-administered 'MUST' ('MUST'-P) with HCP administered 'MUST' ('MUST'-HCP) in a single tertiary IBD outpatient clinic. METHODS We conducted a feasibility and validity study on adult outpatients with IBD. We collected anthropometric, nutritional and clinical data from patients. All patients completed 'MUST'-P using a self-administered questionnaire, followed by 'MUST'-HCP. 'MUST'-P was timed and feedback on ease-of-use was obtained. The risk of malnutrition was classified as low (score = 0), medium (score = 1) and high (score ≥ 2) and agreement was tested using kappa statistics (κ). RESULTS Eighty patients were recruited (Crohn's disease: n = 49, ulcerative colitis: n = 29, unclassified: n = 2), with a mean (SD) age of 39.9 (15.1) years (51.2% were males). Seventy-one (92%) of patients found 'MUST'-P either easy or very easy. The mean (SD) time to complete 'MUST'-P was 3.1 (1.8) min (range 1-10 min). Sixty-eight (85%) of patients were at low risk of malnutrition when screened by the HCP. There was moderate agreement (κ = 0.486, P < 0.001) between 'MUST'-P and 'MUST'-HCP, with 100% agreement in scoring for medium- and high-risk categories. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggests that self-screening using 'MUST' could be effectively used in an IBD outpatient clinic to identify those at medium and high risk of malnutrition. The patient friendly version of 'MUST' ('MUST'-P) was considered quick and easy to use by patients. Implementation of self-screening with 'MUST' could improve the nutritional management of IBD patients.

Identification of Research Priorities for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Nursing in Europe: a Nurses-European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation Delphi Survey. J Crohns Colitis 2017; 11:353-359. [PMID: 27664273 DOI: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjw164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2016] [Accepted: 10/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robust research evidence should inform clinical practice of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] specialist nurses, but such research is currently very limited. With no current agreement on research priorities for IBD nursing, this survey aimed to establish topics to guide future IBD nursing research across Europe. METHODS An online modified Delphi survey with nurse and allied health professional members of the Nurses European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation [n = 303] was conducted. In Round One, participants proposed topics for research. In Round Two, research topics were rated on a 1-9 scale and subsequently synthesised to create composite research questions. In Round Three, participants selected their top five research questions, rating these on a 1-5 scale. RESULTS Representing 13 European countries, 88, 90 and 58 non-medical professionals, predominantly nurses, responded to Rounds One, Two and Three, respectively. In Round One, 173 potential research topics were suggested. In Rounds Two And Three, responders voted for and prioritised 125 and 44 questions, respectively. Round Three votes were weighted [rank of 1 = score of 5], reflecting rank order. The top five research priorities were: interventions to improve self-management of IBD; interventions for symptoms of frequency, urgency and incontinence; the role of the IBD nurse in improving patient outcomes and quality of life; interventions to improve IBD fatigue; and care pathways to optimise clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS The prioritised list of topics gives clear direction for future IBD nursing research. Conducting this research has potential to improve clinical practice and patient-reported outcomes.

A Priority Setting Partnership with the James Lind Alliance. J Crohns Colitis 2017; 11:204-211. [PMID: 27506537 PMCID: PMC5266081 DOI: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjw144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2016] [Revised: 06/15/2016] [Accepted: 07/08/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Many uncertainties remain regarding optimal therapies and strategies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Setting research priorities addressing therapies requires a partnership between health care professionals, patients and organisations supporting patients. We aimed to use the structure of the James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership, which has been used in other disease areas, to identify and prioritise unanswered questions about treatments for inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS The James Lind Priority Setting Partnership uses methods agreed and adopted in other disease areas to work with patients and clinicians: to identify uncertainties about treatments; to agree by consensus a prioritised list of uncertainties for research; then to translate these uncertainties into research questions which are amenable to hypothesis testing; and finally to take results to research commissioning bodies to be considered for funding. RESULTS A total of 1636 uncertainties were collected in the initial survey from 531 respondents, which included 22% health care professionals and 78% patients and carers. Using the rigorously applied processes of the priority setting partnership, this list was distilled down to the top 10 research priorities for inflammatory bowel disease. The top priorities were: identifying treatment strategies to optimise efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness; and stratifying patients with regard to their disease course and treatment response. Diet and symptom control [pain, incontinence and fatigue] were also topics which were prioritised. CONCLUSIONS A partnership involving multidisciplinary clinicians, patients and organisations supporting patients has identified the top 10 research priorities in the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To perform a sistematiy review of the literature about the nutritional impact of
inflammatory bowel diseases in children and adolescents. DATA SOURCES: A systematic review was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO
databases, with inclusion of articles in Portuguese and in English with original
data, that analyzed nutritional aspects of inflammatory bowel diseases in children
and adolescents. The initial search used the terms "inflammatory bowel diseases"
and "children" or "adolescents" and "nutritional evaluation" or "nutrition
deficiency". The selection of studies was initially performed by reading the
titles and abstracts. Review studies and those withouth data for pediatric
patients were excluded. Subsequently, the full reading of the articles considered
relevant was performed. RESULTS: 237 studies were identified, and 12 of them were selected according to the
inclusion criteria. None of them was performed in South America. During the
analysis of the studies, it was observed that nutritional characteristics of
patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be altered; the main reports were
related to malnutrition, growth stunting, delayed puberty and vitamin D
deficiency. CONCLUSION: There are nutritional consequences of inflammatory bowel diseases in children and
adolescents, mainly growth stunting, slower pubertal development, underweight and
vitamin deficiencies. Nutritional impairments were more significant in patients
with Crohn's disease; overweight and obesity were more common in patients with
ulcerative rectocolitis. A detailed nutritional assessment should be performed
periodically in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Identifying patients who are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition may lead to early intervention and improve patient outcomes. To date, little is known about the role of nutritional assessment and management in IBD care. We aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding nutrition in IBD among patients and providers. METHODS Surveys were mailed electronically to patients and providers identified through their membership in the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. In addition, patient and provider focus groups were conducted to explore nutrition-related themes. These surveys and focus groups were designed to evaluate knowledge and perceived importance of nutrition, patient-provider interactions regarding nutrition and use of nutritional resources. RESULTS There were 223 provider respondents (65.5% gastroenterologists, 15.2% nurses, and 6.7% dietitians). Forty-one percent of the gastroenterologists rated their knowledge of nutrition in IBD as "very good" compared with 87% of dietitians and 16% of nurses (P < 0.001). Thirty-three percent of the gastroenterologists reported not routinely screening their IBD patients for malnutrition. The patient survey had 567 respondents with 27% rating their knowledge of nutrition in IBD as "very good." In the focus groups, a lack of adequate IBD nutritional resources was evident along with a desire for improved access to nutrition specialists. CONCLUSIONS Significant gaps in knowledge relating to nutrition in IBD seem to exist. Targeted educational initiatives and improved access to nutritional experts are warranted. In addition, a standardized process for the assessment of malnutrition among patients with IBD should be developed.

Abstract
Background The Scottish Government’s ambition is to ensure that health services are co-designed with the communities they serve. Crohn’s and Colitis UK and the Scottish Government acknowledged the need to review and update the current IBD care model. An online survey was conducted asking IBD patients about their experiences of the NHS care they receive. This survey was the first step of co-designing and developing a national strategy for IBD service improvement in Scotland. Aim: To explore IBD patients’ experiences of current services and make recommendations for future service development. Methods This study was part of a wider cross-sectional on-line survey. Participants were patients with IBD across Scotland. 777 people with IBD took part in the survey. Thematic analysis of all data was conducted independently by two researchers. Results Three key themes emerged: Quality of life: Participants highlighted the impact the disease has on quality of life and the desperate need for IBD services to address this more holistically. IBD clinicians and access: Participants recognised the need for more IBD nurses and gastroenterologists along with better access to them. Those with a named IBD nurse reported to be more satisfied with their care. An explicit IBD care pathway: Patients with IBD identified the need of making the IBD care pathway more explicit to service users. Conclusions Participants expressed the need for a more holistic approach to their IBD care. This includes integrating psychological, counselling and dietetic services into IBD care with better access to IBD clinicians and a more explicit IBD care pathway.

Fermentable Carbohydrate Restriction (Low FODMAP Diet) in Clinical Practice Improves Functional Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2016; 22:1129-36.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience functional-like gastrointestinal symptoms (FGS) even during remission. Research suggests that dietary restriction of fermentable carbohydrates (low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet) can improve FGS, albeit in irritable bowel syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the low FODMAP diet delivered in routine clinical practice in patients with IBD and coexisting FGS. METHODS Gastrointestinal symptom scores were compared in consecutive patients with IBD referred for low FODMAP dietary education for symptom management (n = 88). Symptoms were assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale, and stool output was assessed using the Bristol Stool Form Scale at both baseline and follow-up (minimum of 6 weeks). RESULTS There was a significant and large increase in the numbers of patients reporting satisfactory relief of symptoms between baseline (14/88, 16%) and low FODMAP diet (69/88, 78%; P < 0.001). Following dietary intervention, there was also a significant decrease in severity for most symptoms and a reduction in composite symptom score (baseline mean: 1.2, SD: 0.5 versus low FODMAP diet mean: 0.7, SD: 0.5; P < 0.001). Improvements in stool consistency and frequency were observed, including an increase in "normal" stool form (P = 0.002) and "normal" stool frequency (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The low FODMAP diet delivered in routine clinical practice seems effective in improving satisfaction with, and severity of, FGS in IBD. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to definitively establish effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychosocial factors surrounding eating and drinking, such as enjoying food, managing restrictions, and maintaining social relationships, remain under-researched in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. This study aimed to develop and validate a food-related quality of life [FR-QoL] questionnaire to systematically measure these issues in the IBD population. METHODS Following semi-structured interviews with 28 IBD patients, 150 potential questionnaire items were generated. These were ranked by 100 IBD patients, and items were removed based on ceiling/floor effects and high inter-item correlations [> 0.7], with 41 items being retained. In total, 323 IBD patients, 100 asthma patients [chronic disease control], and 117 healthy controls completed the FR-QoL questionnaire, alongside generic and disease-specific QoL and food satisfaction questionnaires. Principal components analysis [PCA], construct and discriminant validity, and test-retest reliability were calculated. RESULTS Twelve items were removed following PCA. The reduced questionnaire [FR-QoL-29] explained 63.9% of the variance [Cronbach's α = 0.96]. FR-QoL-29 correlated significantly with generic QoL [r = 0.697], depression [r = -0.519], anxiety [r = -0.531], and food satisfaction [r = 0.701]. The FR-QoL-29 sumscores were significantly lower for IBD (89.5, standard deviation [SD] 28.6) than asthma [125.4, SD 24.1; p < 0.001] and healthy volunteers [123.0, SD 16.5; p<0.001]. Within IBD, worse food-related QoL was found in those with moderate/high disease activity [66.7, SD 22.1] compared with remission/low disease activity [92.5, SD 28.1]. Test-retest reliability was good (intra-class correlation [ICC] = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.76:0.88). CONCLUSIONS The FR-QoL-29 shows good reliability and validity across a range of IBD characteristics. This easily administered questionnaire is a useful tool in identifying poor food-related QoL and in the future may identify areas for intervention.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a group of autoimmune diseases mainly characterized by chronic inflammation in the small and large intestine. The incidence and prevalence of IBD are high and stable. Since IBD is characterized by the wide range of lesions, recurrence, long duration, severe gastrointestinal symptoms and metabolic change, IBD patients often have nutritional disorders. The drug use and surgical operation in the process of IBD treatment will further aggravate nutritional disorders. Therefore, proper nutrition support in IBD is of great value and significance for the recovery and prognosis of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Prebiotic inulin-type fructans are widely consumed in the diet and may have contrasting effects in Crohn's disease by stimulating gut microbiota and/or by generating functional gastrointestinal symptoms. The aim of this study was to measure fructan and oligofructose intakes in patients with active and inactive Crohn's disease compared with healthy controls. METHODS Patients with active Crohn's disease (n = 98), inactive Crohn's (n = 99) and healthy controls (n = 106) were recruited to a case-control study. Dietary intake of inulin-type fructans was measured using a specific food frequency questionnaire and was compared between the three groups and between patients with different disease phenotypes (Montreal classification). Associations between intakes and disease activity (Harvey-Bradshaw Index, HBI) were also undertaken. RESULTS Patients with active Crohn's disease had lower fructan intakes (median 2.9 g/d, interquartile range [IQR] 1.8) than those with inactive Crohn's (3.6 g/d, 2.1, p = 0.036) or controls (3.9 g/d, 2.1, p = 0.003) and lower oligofructose intakes (2.8 g/d, 1.8) than those with inactive Crohn's (3.5 g/d, 2.2, p = 0.048) or controls (3.8 g/d, 2.1, p = 0.003). There were no differences in intakes related to disease site or behaviour. There were negative correlations between HBI well-being score and fructan intake (ρ = -0.154, p = 0.03) and oligofructose intake (ρ = -0.156, p = 0.028) and for the HBI abdominal pain score and fructan (ρ = -0.164, p = 0.021) and oligofructose intake (ρ = -0.157, p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Patients with active Crohn's disease consume lower quantities of fructans and oligofructose than their inactive counterparts and healthy controls. The impact of lower intakes of prebiotic fructans on gut microbiota is unknown and warrants further research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A comprehensive study of what individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are eating that encompasses food avoidance, dietary sugar consumption, and a comparison with the non-IBD Canadian population has not been documented. The aim was to analyze these interrelated dietary components. METHODS Food avoidance and sugar intake data were collected from 319 patients with IBD enrolled in the University of Manitoba IBD Cohort Study. Diets of those with IBD (n = 256) were compared with a matched, non-IBD Canadian cohort using the nutrition questions obtained from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). RESULTS Food avoidance among IBD is prevalent for alcohol, popcorn, legumes, nuts, seeds, deep-fried food, and processed deli meat, with a higher prevalence among those with active IBD. Patients with active IBD also consumed significantly more portions of sports drinks and sweetened beverages compared with those with inactive disease. Compared with the non-IBD Canadian population, patients with IBD consume significantly less iron-rich food but more milk. CONCLUSIONS Food avoidance is common among those with IBD but may be due more to personal preferences, while sugar-laden beverages may be displacing other foods higher in nutrients. The overall diet of patients with IBD differed from that of the non-IBD Canadian population, but deficiencies were observed in both groups. Considering malnutrition among persons living with IBD, nutrition education by trained dietitians as part of the IBD team is imperative to address food avoidance and overall balance nutrition as part of treating and preventing nutrition deficiencies.

[PMID: 25247157 PMCID: PMC4170082 DOI: 10.11005/jbm.2014.21.3.195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2014] [Revised: 07/03/2014] [Accepted: 07/09/2014] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may arise from factors including inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption, and progression of disease. IBD has been reported an increased prevalence of low bone mass. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the nutritional status and to investigate the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and nutrient factors in patients with IBD. METHODS A total of 41 subjects were classified into normal group (n=21) and malnourished group (n=20) by the subjective global assessment result. We surveyed the dietary habit, nutrient intake, and BMD. RESULTS Subjects' average age was 36.7 years old, and included 26 ulcerative colitis and 15 Crohn's disease. The serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher and serum calcium was significantly lower in the malnourished group. Lower bone density subjects were more in the malnourished group but no significant difference. Intake of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, iron, sodium, potassium, zinc, vitamin B6, vitamin C and folate were significantly lower in the malnourished group. The BMD of malnourished group showed correlation with triceps skin fold thickness (TSF), CRP, dietary calcium, phosphorous, iron, animal iron, zinc and vitamin. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that adequate intake of nutrients is important to prevent bone loss and systemic education programs are need for IBD patients.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease characterized by diffuse inflammation of the mucosa of the colon and rectum. The hallmark clinical symptom of UC is bloody diarrhea. The clinical course is marked by exacerbations and remissions, which may occur spontaneously or in response to treatment changes or intercurrent illnesses. UC is most commonly diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood, but it can occur at any age. The incidence of UC has increased worldwide over recent decades, especially in developing nations. In contrast, during this period, therapeutic advances have improved the life expectancy of patients, and there has been a decrease in the mortality rate over time. It is important to emphasize that there is considerable variability in the phenotypic presentation of UC. Within this context, certain clinical and demographic characteristics are useful in identifying patients who tend to have more severe evolution of the disease and a poor prognosis. In this group of patients, better clinical surveillance and more intensive therapy may change the natural course of the disease. The aim of this article was to review the epidemiology and demographic characteristics of UC and the factors that may be associated with its clinical prognosis.

Variable access to quality nutrition information regarding inflammatory bowel disease: a survey of patients and health professionals and objective examination of written information. Health Expect 2014; 18:2501-12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) report a range of nutritional and dietary problems and high-quality written information should be available on these. There is little research investigating the availability and quality of such information for patients with IBD. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the type and quality of written information on nutrition and diet available to patients with IBD and the opinions of patients and health professionals. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Seventy-two patients with IBD were recruited from a large gastroenterology outpatient centre in England. One hundred dietitians from across the United Kingdom were also recruited. METHODS Face-to-face surveys were conducted with patients with IBD. Questions regarding the use, format and usefulness of dietary information received were probed. Dietitians were surveyed regarding written dietary information used in clinical practice. Samples of IBD-specific dietary information used across the UK were objectively assessed using two validated tools. MAIN RESULTS The majority of patients rated written information as 'good' or 'very good', with the most useful information relating to 'general diet and IBD'. Forty-nine (49%) dietitians reported gaps in written information available for patients with IBD. Fifty-three different samples of IBD-specific information sheets were returned, with widely variable objective quality ratings. Commercially produced written information scored greater than locally produced information (BMA tool, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patient access to high-quality, written, IBD-specific dietary information is variable. IBD-specific written nutrition information needs to be developed in accordance with validated tools to empower patients, encourage self-management and overcome nutritional implications of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe the impacts of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from the patients' perspective and to inform the development of a conceptual model. METHODS Focus groups and one-on-one interviews were undertaken in adult patients with IBD. Transcripts from the focus groups and interviews were analyzed to identify themes and links between themes, assisted by qualitative data software MaxQDA. Themes from the qualitative research were supplemented with those reported in the literature and concepts included in IBD-specific patient-reported outcome measures. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients participated. Key physical symptoms included pain, bowel-related symptoms such as frequency, urgency, incontinence, diarrhea, passing blood, and systemic symptoms such as weight loss and fatigue. Participants described continuing and variable symptom experiences. IBD symptoms caused immediate disruption of activities but also had ongoing impacts on daily activities, including dietary restrictions, lifestyle changes, and maintaining close proximity to a toilet. More distal impacts included interference with work, school, parenting, social and leisure activities, relationships, and psychological well-being. The inconvenience of rectal medications, refrigerated biologics, and medication refills emerged as novel burdens not identified in existing patient-reported outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS IBD symptoms cause immediate disruption in activities, but patients may continue to experience some symptoms on a chronic basis. The conceptual model presented here may be useful for identifying target concepts for measurement in future studies in IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease is a debilitating chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Appropriate use of diet and nutritional therapy is integral to the overall management strategy of Crohn's disease. The aim was to develop evidence-based guidelines on the dietary management of Crohn's disease in adults. METHODS Questions relating to the dietary management of Crohn's disease were developed. These included the roles of enteral nutrition to induce remission, food re-introduction diets to structure food re-introduction and maintain remission, and dietary management of stricturing disease, as well as whether probiotics or prebiotics induce or maintain remission. A comprehensive literature search was conducted and relevant studies from January 1985 to November 2009 were identified using the electronic database search engines CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science. Evidence statements, recommendations, practical considerations and research recommendations were developed. RESULTS Fifteen research papers were critically appraised and the evidence formed the basis of these guidelines. Although corticosteroids appear to be more effective, enteral nutrition (elemental or non-elemental) can be offered as an alternative option to induce disease remission. After a course of enteral nutrition, food re-introduction diets may be useful to structure food re-introduction and help maintain disease remission. Dietary fibre is contraindicated in the presence of strictures as a result of the risk of mechanical obstruction. The use of probiotics and prebiotics is not currently supported. CONCLUSIONS As an alternative to corticosteroids, evidence supports enteral nutrition to induce disease remission. Food re-introduction diets provide structure to food re-introduction and help maintain disease remission. These guidelines aim to reduce variation in clinical practice.
