Xiao F, Wei Y, Zou P, Wu X. Associations between single and combined exposures to environmental phenols and ulcerative colitis in American adults. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2024; 48:102468. [PMID: 39313067 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2024.102468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The etiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) is complex and involves multiple factors, with exposure to environmental toxins potentially contributing greatly to its pathogenesis. Therefore, this study was carried out with the purpose of delving into the associations between single and combined exposures to environmental phenols and UC among American adults. METHODS Survey data from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were selected for our research. The associations between single and combined exposures to environmental phenols and the prevalence of UC were analyzed using weighted multivariate logistic regression models as well as Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR). RESULTS A total of 1,422 adults aged 20 years old and above were included in this study, 17 of whom had UC. The correlation matrix showed strong associations between 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) (R = 0.81), as well as between 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) (R = 0.73). The logistic regression model revealed that, after adjusting for confounders, exposure to environmental phenols was positively associated with the prevalence of UC, with 2,4,6-TCP showing a significant association (OR = 2.37, 95 % CI = 1.10, 5.09, P = 0.037). The BKMR analysis indicated an upward trend in the overall effect of combined exposures to environmental phenols on UC. All five phenols contributed to this effect, with 2,4,6-TCP exhibiting the most pronounced effect. When other compounds were fixed at the 50th percentile, the impact of the five phenols on UC demonstrated a positive association, without any noteworthy interaction among the compounds. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that exposure to environmental phenols may contribute to the occurrence of UC among American adults.

Abstract
Previous study has demonstrated that the Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) played a role in the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), however, the prevalence and risk factors for IBD are distinct across locations and groups, and therefore, the findings are debatable and warrant further investigation. A total of 4363 participants were calculated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009 to 2010, of whom 1.21% self-reported a history of IBD. DII values were performed as a good predictor of dietary inflammation based on data from two 24-h dietary reviews in the NHANES database. Comparing the multifarious effects along with variations of the whole population by grouping populations according to DII quartiles, dietary inflammation levels increased progressively from DII quartile 1(Q1) to quartile 4(Q4). The association between DII and IBD was tested with multi-variable logistic regression models, subgroup analyses and weighted generalized additive models. Participants in the Q4 group showed the highest levels of C-reactive protein and reduced haemoglobin and albumin levels. Logistic regression confirmed the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of IBD for DII were 0.99 (0.86, 1.15), 0.97 (0.84, 1.13) and 0.80 (0.66, 0.98) in models 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The negative correlation between DII and IBD among United States adults from the NHANES database became increasingly apparent as covariates were adjusted. Subgroup analyses and smoothed curve fitting confirmed the inverse results. The study revealed that DII was correlated with the overall physical well-being of participants. However, there was no significant association between DII and IBD.

A cohort study based on NHANES. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 267:115629. [PMID: 37890258 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread environmental pollutant linked to detrimental effects on human health and reduced life expectancy following chronic exposure. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the association between BPA exposure and mortality in American adults and to explore the potential mitigating effects of dietary quality on BPA-related mortality. This study utilized data from 8761 American adults in the 2003-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Urinary BPA levels were employed to assess BPA exposure, and dietary quality was evaluated using the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015). All-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality statuses were determined until December 31, 2019, resulting in a cumulative follow-up of 80,564 person-years. The results showed that the highest tertile of urinary BPA levels corresponded to a 36% increase in all-cause mortality and a 62% increase in CVD mortality compared to the lowest tertile. In contrast, the highest tertile of HEI-2015 scores was associated with a 29% reduction in all-cause mortality relative to the lowest tertile. Although no significant interaction was found between HEI-2015 scores and urinary BPA levels concerning mortality, the association between HEI-2015 scores and both all-cause and CVD mortality was statistically significant at low urinary BPA levels. Continuous monitoring of BPA exposure is crucial for evaluating its long-term adverse health effects. Improving dietary quality can lower all-cause mortality and decrease the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality at low BPA exposure levels. However, due to the limited protective effect of dietary quality against BPA exposure, minimizing BPA exposure remains a vital goal.

Abstract
As one of the most common alkylphenols, 4-tertiary-octylphenol (4-tOP) is commonly used in many consumer products. Our previous epidemiological study revealed a negative correlation between serum 4-tOP levels and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), which serves as a biomarker of arteriosclerosis. We aimed to explore the role of apoptotic microparticles, markers of vascular endothelial cell function, in the 4-tOP and CIMT connection. To investigate this, we enrolled 886 Taiwanese adolescents and young adults (aged 12-30 years) and examined the relationships among serum 4-tOP levels, apoptotic microparticles (CD31+/CD42a-, CD31+/CD42a+), and CIMT. Our results showed negative associations among serum 4-tOP levels, both apoptotic microparticles, and CIMT in multiple linear regression analysis. The odds ratios for CIMT (≥75th percentile) and the natural logarithm of 4-tOP were highest when both CD31+/CD42a- and CD31+/CD42a+ were greater than the 50th percentile. Conversely, the odds ratios were lowest when both CD31+/CD42a- and CD31+/CD42a+ were less than the 50th percentile. In the structural equation model, we demonstrated that serum 4-tOP levels were negatively correlated with CIMT and indirectly and negatively correlated with CIMT through both apoptotic microparticles. In conclusion, our study reported the inverse association between 4-tOP apoptotic microparticles and CIMT in a young Taiwanese population. Further experimental studies are needed to clarify these associations.

Abstract
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can interfere with hormonal actions and have been associated with a higher incidence of metabolic disorders. They affect numerous physiological, biochemical, and endocrinal activities, including reproduction, metabolism, immunity, and behavior. The purpose of this review was to elucidate the association of EDCs in food with the gut microbiota and with metabolic disorders. EDC exposure induces changes that can lead to microbial dysbiosis. Products and by-products released by the microbial metabolism of EDCs can be taken up by the host. Changes in the composition of the microbiota and production of microbial metabolites may have a major impact on the host metabolism.

Abstract
Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (UHPLC-DAD) method has been developed and validated for the determination of parabens in personal care products. In this study, a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) composed of menthol and formic acid at a molar ratio of 1 : 2 was prepared and used as an extraction solvent. The influencing variables on the extraction efficiency such as extraction solvent type and volume, composition of NADES, salt addition, vortex and centrifugation time were investigated. The proposed method exhibited good linearity with determination coefficients of ≥0.9992. The relative recoveries for the studied analytes ranged from 82.19 to 102.45%. Limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.17-0.33 ng mL-1 and 0.51-0.99 ng mL-1, respectively. To evaluate the applicability of the developed method, it was successfully applied to determine four parabens in personal care products. Additionally, the eco-friendliness level of the presented method was evaluated using Eco-Scale Assessment, Green Analytical Procedure Index and Analytical GREEnness metric. The developed method is simple, environmentally friendly and cost effective and it could be employed for determination of parabens in personal care products without harming the environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People are commonly exposed to mixtures of parabens and phenols. Most studies investigating such exposure and cognitive performance tend to assess only single chemicals, and the tools used to assess cognitive function are not uniform. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the association between multiple parabens and phenols and cognitive function in older Americans. METHODS The study included data of older Americans from two cycles of the NHANES survey. Participants were divided into normal cognitive performance and low cognitive performance groups based on the scores of four cognitive tests: the Immediate Recall test (IRT), the Delayed Recall test (DRT), the Animal Fluency test (AFT) and the Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSST). Generalized linear regression models (GLMs), restricted cubic spline (RCS), weighted quantile sum (WQS) and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were used to assess relationships between chemical exposure and cognitive performance. RESULTS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 961 participants, 470 males and 491 females, were included. GLMs revealed positive association between high levels of bisphenol A (BPA) and low cognitive performance on DRT, especially in male (OR (95%CI): 2.25 (1.10-4.61)), and this association was consistent with WQS and BKMR. In female participants, the third quartile of BPA exposure showed a positive association with low cognition on IRT and global cognition. GLMs also showed that high levels of propylparaben were positively associated with cognitive performance on the IRT in male participants (OR (95%CI): 0.37 (0.18-0.76)). In BKMR, an overall positive correlation between the mixture and low cognition as measured with DRT was observed in male subjects when the mixture was at the 65th percentile or higher. CONCLUSION Exposure to a mixture of parabens and phenols was positively associated with low cognitive performance on DRT in older male subjects, while BPA was the main driver of this outcome.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is becoming increasingly prevalent with the improvement of people's living standards in recent years, especially in urban areas. The emerging environmental contaminant is a newly-proposed concept in the progress of industrialization and modernization, referring to synthetic chemicals that were not noticed or researched before, which may lead to many chronic diseases, including IBD. The emerging contaminants mainly include microplastics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chemical herbicides, heavy metals, and persisting organic pollutants. In this review, we summarize the adverse health effect of these emerging contaminants on humans and their relationships with IBD. Therefore, we can better understand the impact of these new emerging contaminants on IBD, minimize their exposures, and lower the future incidence of IBD.

Abstract
Parabens are widely used in consumer products resulting in frequent exposure to humans. To date, little is known about the association between human paraben exposure and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, a case-control study (n = 290) was conducted in Hangzhou, China, aiming to quantify the concentrations of methyl paraben (MeP), ethyl paraben (EtP), propyl paraben (PrP), and butyl paraben (BuP) in serum samples and to determine their associations with RA risks. MeP (mean 4.7 ng/mL, range <0.05-20 ng/mL) was the predominant paraben in human serum, followed by PrP (1.9 ng/mL, <0.12-24 ng/mL), EtP (1.4 ng/mL, <0.09-10 ng/mL), and BuP (1.09 ng/mL, <0.10-10 ng/mL). With 1-unit increase of MeP concentrations in human serum, the levels of rheumatoid factors, anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, and immunoglobulin G will increase by 0.19 unit (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.12-0.46), 0.30 unit (95% CI: 0.26-0.58), and 0.24 unit (95% CI: 0.21-0.30) in the adjusted model, respectively. One-unit increase of MeP and PrP concentrations in human serum was associated with an increase of 0.15 (95% CI: 0.037-0.28) and 0.20 (95% CI: 0.10-0.32) in the C-reactive protein concentrations. In addition, an association between serum MeP levels and the incidence of RA (odds ratios (OR)crude = 1.33, CI: 1.11-1.62, p = 0.03; ORadjusted = 1.86, CI: 1.32-2.63, p = 0.02) was positive and significant. Based on the measurements of serum paraben concentrations, this work supports the evidence for the significant associations among paraben exposure, change of specific immune marker, and RA risks.

The Comparison of the Influence of Bisphenol A (BPA) and Its Analogue Bisphenol S (BPS) on the Enteric Nervous System of the Distal Colon in Mice. Nutrients 2022; 15:nu15010200. [PMID: 36615857 PMCID: PMC9824883 DOI: 10.3390/nu15010200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), commonly used as a plasticizer in various branches of industry has a strong negative effect on living organisms. Therefore, more and more often it is replaced in production of plastics by other substances. One of them is bisphenol S (BPS). This study for the first time compares the impact of BPA and BPS on the enteric neurons using double immunofluorescence technique. It has been shown that both BPA and BPS affect the number of enteric neurons containing substance P (SP), galanin (GAL), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS-a marker of nitrergic neurons) and/or vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT- a marker of cholinergic neurons). The changes noted under the impact of both bisphenols are similar and consisted of an increase in the number of enteric neurons immunoreactive to all neuronal factors studied. The impact of BPS on some populations of neurons was stronger than that noted under the influence of BPA. The obtained results clearly show that BPS (similarly to BPA) administered for long time is not neutral for the enteric neurons even in relatively low doses and may be more potent than BPA for certain neuronal populations.

Abstract
Objective Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent in patients with chronic diarrheal symptoms or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to evaluate the associations of chronic diarrheal symptoms and IBD with sleep quality in the general US population. Methods 14,696 adults (≥20 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2010) were included in the study. Chronic diarrheal symptoms and IBD were defined by self-reports. Sleep quality was assessed by sleep disorder, sleep trouble, and sleep duration. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the associations. Results After adjustment of a series of covariates, we found that participants with chronic diarrheal symptoms or IBD had higher odds of sleep disorder [chronic diarrheal symptoms: odds ratio (OR) = 1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-1.38; IBD: OR = 3.86, 95% CI = 1.92-7.77] and sleep trouble (chronic diarrheal symptoms: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.09-1.30; IBD: OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.30-4.14), respectively. Sleep duration for participants with IBD was significantly shorter than that for those without IBD (β = -0.39, 95% CI = -0.78 to 0.01, P = 0.045). Subgroup analyses revealed that the associations of chronic diarrheal symptoms and IBD with sleep disorder and sleep trouble were more pronounced among women. Conclusions In this large sample of US adults, we found that chronic diarrheal symptoms and IBD were significantly associated with sleep quality, particularly in women. The findings highlight the importance of managing bowel health to promote high quality of sleep; and thus, improve quality of life in this subpopulation.

FLEXiGUT: Rationale for exposomics associations with chronic low-grade gut inflammation. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 158:106906. [PMID: 34607040 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2021.106906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
FLEXiGUT is the first large-scale exposomics study focused on chronic low-grade inflammation. It aims to characterize human life course environmental exposure to assess and validate its impact on gut inflammation and related biological processes and diseases. The cumulative influences of environmental and food contaminants throughout the lifespan on certain biological responses related to chronic gut inflammation will be investigated in two Flemish prospective cohorts, namely the "ENVIRONAGE birth cohort", which provides follow-up from gestation to early childhood, and the "Flemish Gut Flora Project longitudinal cohort", a cohort of adults. The exposome will be characterised through biomonitoring of legacy and emerging contaminants, mycotoxins and markers of air pollution, by analysing the available metadata on nutrition, location and activity, and by applying state-of-the-art -omics techniques, including metagenomics, metabolomics and DNA adductomics, as well as the assessment of telomere length and measurement of inflammatory markers, to encompass both exposure and effect. Associations between exposures and health outcomes will be uncovered using an integrated -omics data analysis framework comprising data exploration, pre-processing, dimensionality reduction and data mining, combined with machine learning-based pathway analysis approaches. This is expected to lead to a more profound insight in mechanisms underlying disease progression (e.g. metabolic disorders, food allergies, gastrointestinal cancers) and/or accelerated biological ageing.

Abstract
Iron may be involved in the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic diarrhea by modulating gut microbiota and immune responses, but data from epidemiological studies in adults examining this relationship are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between iron intake and serum iron levels with IBD and chronic diarrhea in adults. Data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) between 2007 and 2010 for adults ≥ 20 years were obtained. Chronic diarrheal symptoms were determined by using the 2007-2010 NHANES questionnaire which included questions pertaining to bowel health. The presence of IBD was analyzed from the NHANES data, directly querying the presence or absence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). A total of 9605 participants were initially included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used and stratified by gender. Compared with quartile 1 (the lowest quartile), the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95% CI) for risk of having chronic diarrheal symptoms were 1.01 (0.86-1.18), 1.29 (1.07-1.56) and 1.25 (1.02-1.54) across quartiles 2 to 4 of iron intake. This significant association remained among men, but not among women in subgroup analyses. No significant association between either iron intake or serum iron level and the risk of IBD was observed. Generally, there was a positive association between iron intake and chronic diarrheal symptoms in adults that was modified by sex.

Abstract
Anthropogenic environmental pollutants affect many physiological, biochemical, and endocrine actions as reproduction, metabolism, immunity, behavior and as such can interfere with any aspect of hormone action. Microbiota and their genes, microbiome, a large body of microorganisms, first of all bacteria and co-existing in the host´s gut, are now believed to be autonomous endocrine organ, participating at overall endocrine, neuroendocrine and immunoendocrine regulations. While an extensive literature is available on the physiological and pathological aspects of both players, information about their mutual relationships is scarce. In the review we attempted to show various examples where both, endocrine disruptors and microbiota are meeting and can act cooperatively or in opposition and to show the mechanism, if known, staying behind these actions.

Abstract
The relevance of environmental triggers in Crohn's disease remains poorly explored, despite the well-known association between industrialization and disease onset/progression. We have aimed at evaluating the influence of endocrine disrupting chemicals in CD patients. We performed a prospective observational study on consecutive patients diagnosed of CD. Serum levels of endocrine disruptors, short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan and cytokines were measured. Bacterial-DNA and serum endotoxin levels were also evaluated. Gene expression of ER-α, ER-β and GPER was measured in PBMCs. All patients were genotyped for NOD2 and ATG16L1 polymorphisms. A series of 200 CD patients (140 in remission, 60 with active disease) was included in the study. Bisphenol A was significantly higher in patients with active disease versus remission and in colonic versus ileal disease. GPER was significantly increased in active patients and correlated with BPA levels. BPA was significantly increased in patients with bacterial-DNA and correlated with serum endotoxin levels, (r = 0.417; P = .003). Serum butyrate and tryptophan levels were significantly lower in patients with bacterial-DNA and an inverse relationship was present between them and BPA levels (r = -0.491; P = .001) (r = -0.611; P = .001). Serum BPA levels correlated with IL-23 (r = 0.807; P = .001) and IL-17A (r = 0.743; P = .001). The multivariate analysis revealed an independent significant contribution of BPA and bacterial-DNA to serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17A. In conclusion, bisphenol A significantly affects systemic inflammatory response in CD patients with gut barrier disruption and dysbiotic microbiota secretory products in blood. These results provide evidence of an endocrine disruptor playing an actual pathogenic role on CD.

Abstract
The associations between copper and zinc intake with the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and fecal incontinence symptoms in the general population are not well understood. This study aims to evaluate the associations of zinc and copper intake with the risk of IBD and fecal incontinence symptoms in adults aged ≥ 20 years using data from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) (N = 5593). The presence of IBD was analyzed from the NHANES data, directly querying the presence or absence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Fecal incontinence symptoms including accidental bowel leakage of gas, mucus, liquid, or solid stool were determined by using the bowel health questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regressions models were performed controlling for confounding factors (dietary, lifestyle, psychological, and health conditions). No associations between either zinc or copper intake with IBD were found. However, zinc intake was independently associated with increased risk of bowel leakage of gas or liquid. Compared with quartile 1, the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of bowel leakage of gas across quartiles 2-4 of zinc intake were 1.41 (1.15-1.71), 1.30 (1.00-1.68), and 1.61 (1.16-2.23). Likewise, there was a trend for higher odds of bowel leakage of liquid among participants in the higher zinc intake. Compared with quartile 1, the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of bowel leakage of liquid across quartiles 2-4 of zinc intake were 3.55 (0.94-13.41), 3.65 (1.27-10.47), and 5.06 (1.25-20.50). Future prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Personal care products (PCPs) are generally used for personal hygiene, cleaning, grooming, and beautification. These include hair and skin care products, baby care products, UV blocking creams, facial cleansers, insect repellents, perfumes, fragrances, soap, detergents, shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, etc., thus exposing humans easily. Personal preferences related to PCPs usage frequency are highly variable and depend on socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors. The increasing availability and diversity of PCPs from the retailer outlets consequently result in higher loading of PCPs into wastewater systems and, therefore, the environment. These compounds persistently and continuously release biologically active and inactive ingredients in the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and demonstrating adverse effects on human, wild, and marine life. Advanced techniques such as granular activated carbon filtration and algae-based system may help biotransformation and remove PCP contaminants from water with improved efficiency. Additionally, harmony among PCPs related regulations of different countries may encourage standard checks to control their manufacturing, sale, and distribution across the borders to ensure consumers' safety. Furthermore, all intended ingredients, their concentrations, and instructions for frequency of use as per age groups may be clearly labeled on packages of PCPs. In conclusion, the emerging environmental contaminants of PCPs and their association with the growing risks of negative effects on human health and globally on the environment emphasize the chemical-free simple lifestyle.

Abstract
Bisphenol (BP) A, a known food contaminant, is a possible risk factor in the epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCD) including food intolerance and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Regulatory restrictions regarding BPA usage led to BPA removal and replacement by poorly described substitutes, like BPS or BPF (few data on occurrence in food and human samples and biological effect). Oral tolerance protocol to ovalbumin (OVA) in WT mice and Il10-/- mice prone to IBD were used respectively to address immune responses towards food and microbial luminal antigens following BP oral exposure. Both mice models were orally exposed for five weeks to BPA, BPS or BPF at 0.5, 5 and 50 μg/kg of body weight (bw)/day (d). Oral exposure to BPs at low doses (0.5 and 5 μg/kg bw/d) impaired oral tolerance as indicated by higher humoral and pro-inflammatory cellular responses in OVA-tolerized mice. However, only BPF exacerbate colitis in Il10-/- prone mice associated with a defect of fecal IgA and increased secretion of TNF-α in colon. These findings provide a unique comparative study on effects of adult oral exposure to BPs on immune responses and its consequences on NCD related to intestinal luminal antigen development.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are mainly represented by ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and the increase in the incidence tends to follow the rapid industrialization and lifestyle of modern societies. FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) consist of molecules that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and are fermented by bacteria in the colon leading to symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Reduction of the ingestion of FODMAP could reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life. This review aimed to summarize some important aspects of IBD and evaluate the effects of this diet on this inflammatory condition. Studies including the term FODMAP (and similar terms) and IBD were selected for this review (MEDLINE database was used PubMed/PMC). A low FODMAP diet may be an effective tool to the management of the common abdominal symptoms in patients with functional gastrointestinal symptoms once these molecules trigger these symptoms. This diet may also reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin and may interfere with the microbiome and its metabolites. The use of a low FODMAP diet can bring benefits to the IBD patients, but may also modify their nutritional status. Thus it should be utilized in appropriated conditions, and dietary supplements should be necessary to avoid deficiencies that could be caused by a low FODMAP diet over long periods. We suggest that further investigations are required to elucidate when and how to apply the FODMAP diet in IBD patients.
