The disease recurrence perception scale for patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Instrument development and cross-sectional validation study. Res Nurs Health 2024; 47:492-505. [PMID: 38722081 DOI: 10.1002/nur.22391] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Disease recurrence perception plays a key role in disease management and subsequent disease recurrence prevention. However, there are no specific tools for assessing disease recurrence perception in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by alternating remission and recurrence. To develop and validate an instrument for measuring disease recurrence perception of patients with IBD, the study was conducted in two steps: (1) instrument development and (2) psychometric tests. A total of 623 patients with IBD participated in the study. The common sense model of illness self-regulation (CSM) was used as a framework for instrument development. The administered version contained 48 items intended to be relevant to at least one of the six dimensions of the model. Based on preliminary analyzes, 12 items were deleted leaving 36 items for more detailed psychometric and factor analyzes. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total 36-item instrument was 0.915. The content validity indexes at item and scale levels were satisfactory. The test-retest reliability of the total instrument was 0.870. Exploratory principal components analysis (n = 278) was used to identify six components congruent with intended CSM constructs that accounted for 62.6% of total item variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (n = 345) found acceptable fit for the six factor measurement model (χ2/df = 1.999, GFI = 0.846, NFI = 0.855, IFI = 0.922, TLI = 0.910, CFI = 0.921, RMSEA = 0.054). Overall, the DRPSIBD demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity to warrant further development as a measure of disease recurrence perception of patients with IBD.

J Hum Nutr Diet 2024. [PMID: 39290052 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.13358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Food-related quality of life (FRQoL) measures the impact of diet, eating behaviours and food-related anxiety on quality of life. Patients often view food and eating as central to symptom management. This is the first study to examine FRQoL in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, celiac sprue, achalasia and eosinophilic oesophagitis. METHODS A total of 289 adults aged ≥18 years completed self-report measures evaluating the use of dietary treatment, FRQoL and other psychosocial outcomes. Principal component factor analysis evaluated potential subscales within the Food-Related Quality of Life Scale (FRQoL-29), to date validated only with a total score. Univariate analyses investigated differences in FRQoL based on diagnosis, whereas correlations and hierarchical regression identified relationships between FRQoL and psychosocial outcomes. RESULTS Factor analysis revealed four subscales within the FRQoL-29, with hypervigilance around eating being the primary driver in total score. Patients reported substantial impacts of FRQoL, with those not using diet therapy scoring significantly higher for FRQoL than those on a diet with and without the support of a registered dietitian (RD). Both social (r = 0.41, p < 0.001) and physical (r = 0.31, p < 0.001) domains of health-related quality of life were higher in patients with greater FRQoL. CONCLUSION FRQoL is significantly degraded in patients with organic gastrointestinal illness diseases, and hypervigilance around food appears to contribute most to this. Use of dietary treatment and meeting with an RD were associated with lower FRQoL, though it is unclear if patients sought RD assistance before FRQoL declined. Future studies on the relationship between dietary treatment, RD support and FRQoL are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often have severe dietary restrictions and avoidance due to the uncertainty of intestinal symptoms. Inadequate dietary intake may increase the risk of malnutrition and result in impaired food-related quality of life (FRQoL). Few studies investigated factors influencing FRQoL in patients with IBD. This study aimed to synthesize the existing evidence regarding FRQoL among patients with IBD, including the current situation, measurement instruments, and related influencing factors. METHOD The comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Cochrane Library, as well as the most commonly used Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang and CBM). Studies published between January 2015 and December 2023 on FRQoL in patients with IBD were included. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist was utilized to evaluate the methodological quality of the selected studies. RESULTS Finally, only five studies met the inclusion criteria were reviewed, including three cross-sectional studies and two case-control studies. The Food-related quality of life-29 Scale (FR-QoL-29) with a total core of 145 was the most used instrument measuring FRQoL in patients with IBD. The mean scores of FRQoL ranged from 69.9 to 102.3 in adult patients with IBD and 94.3 in children. A diverse range of factors were associated with FRQoL, including socio-demographic, clinical, psychological, diet-related, and nutrient intake factors. CONCLUSIONS The main influencing factors of FRQoL among patients with IBD included disease activity status, severe symptoms, history of IBD surgery, negative emotion reaction, and restrictive eating behaviour. Clinicians should work in concert with dietitians, keeping an eye on the disease status, nutrition intake, and restrictive eating habits, assessing FRQoL and providing personalized dietary recommendation for the patients with IBD.

Abstract
AIM To synthesise the dietary expesriences of patients with inflammatory bowel disease by reviewing relevant qualitative studies. BACKGROUND Diet plays a crucial role in the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There is no specific diet that can be recommended for all patients. We conducted a synthesis of qualitative studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dietary management experience of patients with IBD, aiming to provide better dietary guidance in the future. DESIGN A qualitative synthesis was conducted following the Thomas and Harden method and reported following the ENTREQ statement. METHODS Qualitative studies were systematically searched in five electronic databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science. There was no time limit for publication, and all database searches were up to 10 May, 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument was utilised to appraise the quality of the included studies. Data for inclusion in articles were extracted and analysed using a thematic synthesis method. RESULTS Six studies involving 119 patients were eventually included. The studies were conducted in six different countries. Four major themes were identified: the diet of patients with IBD is completely different from the normal one; manage symptoms and live with the disease by modifying diet; psychological adjustment to eating (be frustrated; worried and afraid; feel ashamed; growth and resilience); barriers and challenges (barriers from perceived social support; conflicts between diet and nutrition; challenges from food hedonism and cravings). CONCLUSIONS Patients with IBD highlighted the distinction between their diet and the normal diet. Dietary modifications were used as a way to manage symptoms and live with the disease. In addition to physical symptoms, patients experienced diet-related psychological changes. Dietary modifications in patients with IBD encounters difficulties and challenges, necessitating prompt guidance and intervention. (1) The implementation of dietary modifications in patients with IBD encounters numerous obstacles and complexities, necessitating prompt guidance and intervention. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public contribution. REGISTRATION The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023391545).

BMC Med Ethics 2024; 25:82. [PMID: 39049028 PMCID: PMC11267929 DOI: 10.1186/s12910-024-01076-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) aims to improve patients' quality of life and the extent of treatment success is measured via patient reported outcomes (PROs). However, questionnaires used to collect PROs often include scales that are not specific to IBDs. Improving these scales requires a deeper understanding of patients' lived experience. With this study we give first insights and develop hypotheses on how patients with IBDs experience their body and self and how they adjust their life plans in the context of precision medicine (PM). The guiding question is to understand what they need to achieve a good life, while facing their disease. METHODS We developed a conception of the "good life" that draws on Philippa Foot's "naturalized" approach and distinguishes six different dimensions that are relevant for a good life. This conception guided us as we conducted 10 qualitative interviews with patients suffering from IBD who were in precision medicine clinical research settings. The interviews aimed to gain insights for answering our research question: How do body experiences affect the good life of patients with IBD? We analyzed the interviews with interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). RESULTS Five group experiential themes emerged: (i) Life options and plans, (ii) other people's responses, (iii) strategies to deal with others' responses, (iv) perception of the body and self, and (v) perception of life as good despite suffering. We report here on three of them (i, iv and v), which are primarily relevant for evaluating the outcomes of PM care. Whereas with "life options and plans (i)," our study predominantly confirmed previous research, with "perception of the body and self (iv)," we found that some of the patients changed their relationship to their body and themselves. They perceived the body or the disease as the "other" and their self appears divorced from their own body. Although this might be an avoidance strategy patients use to assign responsibility for their condition and its "disgusting" symptoms to the "other," it is important to include it in patient reported outcome (PRO) assessments. CONCLUSIONS We conclude with the insight that the multi-dimensional approach based on Foot's concept of a good life is well-suited as a basis for investigating the quality of life of people with IBD. Interviews based on this concept produced results that go beyond the understanding of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Additionally, we offer some considerations about patients' opportunities for achieving a good life and suggestions for further developing patient reported outcome scales.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses significant challenges in its management, encompassing a spectrum of conditions from Crohn's disease to ulcerative colitis. Dietary interventions have emerged as integral components of the multidisciplinary approach to IBD management, with implications ranging from disease prevention to treatment of active manifestations and addressing complications such as malnutrition. While dietary interventions show promise in improving outcomes for some patients with IBD, there is no consensus in the existing literature regarding remission maintenance in those patients. Furthermore, many patients explore dietary modifications often guided by anecdotal evidence or personal experiences and this could lead to malnutrition and decreased quality of life. This comprehensive review synthesizes existing literature to elucidate the complex interplay between diet and IBD, offering insights into the efficacy and safety of various dietary modalities in maintaining disease remission. It also highlights the importance of patient education in navigating dietary choices and potential risks associated with food avoidance, including the heightened risk of micronutrient deficiencies. Furthermore, it emphasizes the pivotal role of a multidisciplinary care team comprising clinicians and dietitians in providing personalized dietary guidance tailored to individual patient needs and goals. By synthesizing the latest evidence and providing insights into both the potential benefits and risks of dietary interventions, this review could be used as a resource for healthcare professionals and patients alike in navigating the complex landscape of dietary management in IBD.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the psychosocial experiences during dietary management among Chinese adults with inflammatory bowel disease. DESIGN Qualitative phenomenological design. METHODS Eighteen adults diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease for more than 6 months were recruited using purposive sampling from June to December 2023. Two trained researchers used van Manen's approach to analyse the data. RESULTS The three themes with multiple subthemes emerged: facing the unknown: at a loss and aggrieved, trying to cope: uncertain and distressed, and growing in adaptation: relieved and transcendent. The first theme included unknown relapses, overlooking diet management and the absence of dietary rules. The second theme showed different coping situations, like complex dietary information and ever-closing worlds. The third theme explores how participants adapted to disease and their eating patterns. CONCLUSION The psychosocial experiences during dietary management are complex. The accumulation of diet-related experience, acceptance of illness and social support facilitate patients in overcoming negative emotions and adhering to dietary management. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE Nurses should provide tailored dietary guidance and appropriate psychological interventions to promote healthy eating in patients. IMPACT This study may enhance healthcare professionals' understanding, particularly those in China, of the diet-related experiences among patients. REPORTING METHOD The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION Participants contributed by sharing their first hand experiences.

Abstract
Background and Aims Anxiety over food choices and symptoms related to food consumption diminish quality of life (QoL) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. However, the specific factors that impact QoL among IBD patients remain unclear. In this study, we analyzed the relationships of demographic and disease factors with food-related QoL (FRQoL) in a large, diverse US cohort of IBD patients. Methods In this cross-sectional analysis of 1108 IBD patients aged ≥18 years, we measured FRQoL with the 29-item Food-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (FR-QoL-29) and disease activity with the Harvey-Bradshaw index in Crohn's disease (CD) patients or the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Latinx immigrants completed a Spanish translation of the FR-QoL-29. A subset of patients had colonoscopy and inflammatory marker data available. We used univariate, multivariate, and subgroup analyses to examine the factors that influence FRQoL. Results In our cohort, 55% of IBD patients self-identified as Latinx. Latinx and non-Latinx patients had similar FR-QoL-29 scores. Female patients had significantly lower FRQoL than male patients (P = .001). Increasing age and IBD duration correlated with higher FRQoL (P < .0001). In UC patients, higher Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index scores (P < .0001), higher Mayo scores (P = .0009), and longer disease duration (P = .03) predicted significantly lower FRQoL. Disease activity and FRQoL were not significantly related in CD patients. Conclusion This is the largest study to date to examine FRQoL in American IBD patients, and the first to include Latinx patients. Disease-related factors had a greater impact on FRQoL than ethnicity. Clinical and endoscopic disease activity had a more detrimental impact on FRQoL in UC than in CD. Diet intervention studies are needed to alleviate symptoms and improve FRQoL in the IBD population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic illness affecting the esophagus often modify their eating habits to manage symptoms. Although this begins as a protective strategy, anxiety around eating can become problematic, and lead to poor outcomes. We administered a survey to examine the factors associated with problematic eating behaviors in patients who have reflux and difficulty swallowing (esophageal dysphagia). METHODS In total, 277 adult patients aged above 18 diagnosed with achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux completed an online survey: (1) demographic and disease information; (2) reflux and dysphagia severity (3) eating behaviors, as measured by a study-specific, modified version of the Eating Disorder Questionnaire (EDE-Q) for patients with esophageal conditions; and (4) Food related quality of life (FRQOL). Descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlations evaluated the sample data and a hierarchical linear regression evaluated predictors of problematic eating behaviors. KEY RESULTS Problematic eating behaviors were associated with reflux severity, dysphagia severity, symptom anxiety, and hypervigilance, and negatively associated with FRQOL. While reflux and dysphagia severity predicted greater problematic eating, symptom anxiety explained more of these behaviors. Although hypervigilance and anxiety also predicted poorer FRQOL, problematic eating was the largest predictor. CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Problematic eating behaviors are associated with increased symptom severity and symptom anxiety, and diminished FRQoL. Symptom anxiety, rather than symptom severity, appears to be a driving factor in problematic eating behaviors. Interventions aimed at diminishing symptom anxiety may be useful in reducing problematic eating behaviors in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.

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
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract that might lead to progressive bowel damage and disability. The exact cause of Crohn's disease is unknown, but evidence points towards multifactorial events causing dysregulation of the innate immune system in genetically susceptible people. Commonly affecting the terminal ileum and proximal colon, Crohn's disease inflammation is often discontinuous and patchy, segmental, and transmural. Identification of characteristic findings on ileocolonoscopy and histology remains the diagnostic gold standard, but complete assessment involves laboratory abnormalities, including micronutrient deficiencies, cross-sectional imaging to identify transmural disease extent, severity and complications, and a psychosocial assessment. Treatment strategies for patients with Crohn's disease now go beyond achieving clinical remission to include deeper targets of endoscopic healing and consideration of adjunctive histological and transmural targets to alter disease progression potentially further. The use of early effective advanced therapies and development of therapies targeting alternative novel pathways with improved safety profiles have resulted in a new era of healing in Crohn's disease management. Future combination of advanced therapies with diet or other biological drugs and small molecules, together with improvements in tight control monitoring tools and predictive biomarkers might continue to improve outcomes for patients with Crohn's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often use the Internet to seek information beyond that received from healthcare professionals. This study assessed the perceptions of YouTube presenters on the role of diet in the management of IBD. METHODS Videos discussing dietary aspects (food, diet-related items, and advisory comments [FODRIACs]) in the management of IBD were included. The perceptions of presenters toward each FODRIAC were labeled as positive, negative, or neutral/intermediate, and FODRIACs were classified according to their underlying role in the management of IBD (eg, symptom management, gut inflammation). Subgroup analysis was performed by type of video presenter (patients vs healthcare professionals), type of IBD (Crohn's disease vs ulcerative colitis), and reporting of scientific evidence supporting presenters' perceptions. RESULTS We identified 122 FODRIACs within 160 videos. Patient videos received a higher number of likes (median 85 [interquartile range, 35-156]) than healthcare professional videos (median 44 [interquartile range, 16-1440]) (P = .01). Scientific evidence was cited in 2 (3%) of 76 patient videos compared with 25 (35%) of 71 healthcare professional videos (P < .001). Positive perceptions were expressed about avocadoes, salmon, bananas, white bread, and rice, whereas negative perceptions were reported for processed, high-fat and high-sugar foods and carbonated drinks. Fewer negative perceptions were expressed in videos supported by scientific evidence than in videos that lacked evidence (scientific: 4 positive, 0 negative vs nonscientific: 7 positive, 20 negative; P = .01). CONCLUSIONS We have identified FODRIACs proposed as beneficial or detrimental in the management of IBD. The effect this information has on dietary practice as patients with IBD self-manage their condition needs further exploration.

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
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic relapsing disorders, including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), which affects an increasing number of people worldwide. In the last few decades, the scientific world has witnessed many developments in IBD management by controlling debilitating symptoms and remaining in remission for more protracted periods. Even so, we still have a large population suffering from active IBD. An individual's quality of life (QoL) can be severely affected by IBD, like any other chronic illness. In this article, we have reviewed factors influencing the QoL in IBD patients, including chronic pain, diet, physical activity, and psychological factors like depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. We also discussed the mechanisms of diet-microbial-immune system interaction, currently available dietary therapies for active CD and UC, and early psycho-social interventions that can reduce the disease burden and improve QoL in IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meeting healthy dietary needs while eating out can be a challenging experience for adults with inflammatory bowel disease. This study examined the barriers experienced by adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) when eating out. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the perceptions of people with IBD on eating out barriers. DESIGN A qualitative study among individuals affected by IBD was conducted through semi-structured interviews. RESULTS Sixteen adults from China were diagnosed with IBD between 6 months and 20 years prior to the study. They were recruited from four tertiary care hospitals in Nanjing, China. The participants completed a semi-structured interview between April and September 2022. Self-perceived difficulties with eating and drinking when eating out were varied. After thematic analysis of the data, five main themes emerged: limited access to healthy and hygiene food; no pleasure of food enjoyment; financial strain; not feeling loved, supported or understood; and coping strategies for not meeting demand. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the various barriers encountered by patients with inflammatory bowel disease when eating out. These findings will help people with IBD to encourage the formation of targeted health and well-being-related interventions. Knowledge of nutrition and diet should be provided in education and training programs administered to IBD.

Abstract
Malnutrition might play a key role in the prognosis of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to explore the impact of weight loss from diagnosis of CD to one-year post-diagnosis on disease prognosis in terms of surgery. Patients who were diagnosed with CD at Samsung Medical Center between 1995 to 2020 were included in this study. The study defined the "group with weight loss" as patients with weight loss in one year after diagnosis and the "group without body weight loss" as patients without weight loss in one year after diagnosis. Their data such as demographics, laboratory findings, and medical interventions were collected retrospectively. The primary outcome was confirmation of the difference in the incidence of surgery associated with CD between the group with weight loss and the group without body weight loss. We further analyzed factors associated with surgery outcomes. A total of 165 patients were analyzed in this study. Forty-one patients (24.8%) had body weight loss whereas 124 patients (75.2%) had no body weight loss. Body change at one year showed no significant association with direct surgical incidence. However, the patients with weight loss tended to undergo surgery earlier than patients without body weight loss. Among factors associated with outcomes of Crohn's surgery, the albumin was the only significant factor. Patients with weight loss had no statistically significant increase in the risk of surgery than patients without weight loss, although they tended to undergo surgery earlier than patients without body weight loss. A prospective study is needed to determine serial body weight changes during follow-up for patients with CD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a newly described eating disorder. Adequate levels of food literacy allow individuals to have adequate food choices. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of ARFID and the level of food literacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to analyse the correlation between ARFID and food literacy. METHOD This cross-sectional study screened for ARFID and assessed food literacy levels in patients with IBD attending four tertiary hospitals in China. ARFID risk was measured using the Nine Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Screen (NIAS). Food literacy was assessed using the Food Literacy Evaluation Questionnaire (Chinese version, FLEQ-Ch).The relationship between individual NIAS scores and food literacy variables was analysed to assess which food literacy aspect is positively or negatively associated with NIAS scores. Stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to identify the possible predictors of NIAS scores in patients with IBD. RESULT A total of 372 IBD subjects completed the NIAS and FLEQ-Ch. The overall mean NIAS scores for the IBD cohort was 28.16 ± 8.03 (p < 0.01), and of the 372 participants, 123 (32.5%) had positive ARFID risk scores (≥ 10 NIAS-picky eating, ≥ 9 NIAS-poor appetite, and ≥ 10 NIAS-fear of negative consequences).The NIAS scores were inversely associated with food literacy levels (β = - 0.299; p < 0.01).Disease phenotype, disease activity, and food literacy in patients with IBD provided valuable predictive insights for avoiding positive outcomes in ARFID. CONCLUSION This study shows that the risk of ARFID in the cohort of patients with IBD is associated with their inadequate food literacy levels. Therefore, this study supports the notion that patients with IBD should be assessed for food literacy regardless of whether they are currently diagnosed with ARFID. Specifically, for early identification of those at risk for ARFID in IBD, disease phenotype, disease activity, and food literacy should be routinely considered in clinical practice.The food literacy awareness of patients must be investigated and improved to predict the risk occurrence of ARFID and encourage healthy eating behaviour.

Abstract
Dietary therapy is increasingly recognized for the management of Crohn's disease (CD) over recent years, including the use of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) as first-line therapy for pediatric CD according to current guidelines. The Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) is a whole-food diet designed to reduce exposure to dietary components that are potentially pro-inflammatory, mediated by negative effects on the gut microbiota, immune response, and the intestinal barrier. The CDED has emerged as a valid alternative to EEN with cumulative evidence, including randomized controlled trials, supporting use for induction of remission and possibly maintenance in children and adults. We gathered a group of multidisciplinary experts, including pediatric and adult gastroenterologists, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) expert dietitians, and a psychologist to discuss the evidence, identify gaps, and provide insights into improving the use of CDED based on a comprehensive review of CDED literature and professional experience. This article reviews the management of CDED in both children and adults, long-term aspects of CDED, indications and contraindications, selecting the best candidates, identifying challenges with CDED, globalization, the role of the multidisciplinary team, especially of dietitian, and future directions. We concluded that CDED is an established dietary therapy that could serve as an alternative to EEN in many pediatric and adult cases, especially with mild to moderate disease. In severe disease, complicated phenotypes, or with extraintestinal involvement, CDED should be considered on a case-by-case basis, according to physician and dietitians' discretion. More studies are warranted to assess the efficacy of CDED in different scenarios.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ileoanal pouch patients frequently attribute pouch-related symptoms and pouchitis with diet. We aimed to assess perceived food intolerance and habitual dietary intake and their relationship with pouch indication, symptoms and current or history of pouchitis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, patients with an ileoanal pouch completed a dietary intolerance and a food frequency questionnaire, that specifically quantifies habitual intake of FODMAPs. Perceived dietary intolerance rates, nutrient intake and diet quality, and their differences based on pouch indication, symptom, and current or history of pouchitis were assessed. Associations between intolerances and intake, and between dietary intake with pouchitis risk were analysed using univariable and multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 58 (10 FAP and 48 UC) patients with complete data, 81% of UC and 80% of FAP patients reported dietary intolerances. Overall diet quality was good. Differences in dietary intake were limited to a few food groups. Patients with a history of pouchitis had a lower intake of fruits (p = 0.03) and nuts (p = 0.004). Patients with current pouchitis had a lower intake of nuts (p = 0.02). On multivariable logistic regression, intake of dietary fibre was associated negatively [OR 0.68(95%CI:0.51-0.92)] and of non-digestible oligosaccharides positively with pouchitis history [OR 5.5(95% CI:1.04-29.1)]. CONCLUSIONS In patients with an ileoanal pouch, perceived dietary intolerances are common but had minimal impact on nutritional adequacy and diet quality. Negative associations of the intakes of fruits, nuts and dietary fibre and positive association with non-digestible oligosaccharides with a history of pouchitis require further study to inform dietary recommendations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to a lack of clear dietary guidelines, patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) self-impose dietary restrictions based on their own nutritional experiences. The aim of this study was to investigate dietary perceptions and behavior in IBD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 82 patients (48 with Crohn's disease and 34 with ulcerative colitis) participated in this prospective, questionnaire-based study. Based on a literature review, the questionnaire was developed to investigate dietary beliefs, behaviors and food exclusions during IBD relapses and remission. RESULTS The majority of patients (85.4%) believed that diet can be a trigger factor for IBD relapses, and 32.9% believed that diet initiates the disease. The majority of patients (81.7%) believed that they should eliminate some products from their diets. The most often-pointed-out products were spicy and fatty foods, raw fruits and vegetables, alcohol, leguminous foods, cruciferous vegetables, dairy products and milk. Most patients (75%) modified their diets after diagnosis, and 81.7% imposed food restrictions to prevent IBD relapses. CONCLUSIONS The majority of patients avoided certain foods during relapses as well as to maintain remission of IBD, basing this on their own beliefs, inconsistently with current scientific knowledge. Patient education should be a key determinant in IBD control.

Abstract
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, incurable and relapsing disease involving any part of the gastrointestinal tract and exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is first-line therapy. Few studies have examined the patient experience of EEN. The aim of this study was to assess the child' s experiences of EEN, to identify problematic themes and understand the child's mindset. Children with CD who previously completed EEN were recruited to complete a survey. All data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and reported as N (%). Forty-four children (mean age 11.3 years) consented to participate. Sixty-eight percent of children reported limited formula flavors as the most challenging aspect and 68% of children identified 'support' to be important. This study highlights the psychological impact of chronic disease and its therapies on children. Providing adequate support is essential to insure EEN is successful. Further studies are required to determine psychological support strategies for children taking EEN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary management is considered a potential adjunctive treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Short-video sharing platforms have enabled patients to obtain dietary advice more conveniently. However, accessing useful resources while avoiding misinformation is not an easy task for most patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the quality of the information in IBD diet-related videos on Chinese short-video sharing platforms. METHODS We collected and extracted information from a total of 125 video samples related to the IBD diet on the 3 Chinese short-video sharing platforms with the most users: TikTok, Bilibili, and Kwai. Two independent physicians evaluated each video in terms of content comprehensiveness, quality (rated by Global Quality Score), and reliability (rated by a modified DISCERN tool). Finally, comparative analyses of the videos from different sources were conducted. RESULTS The videos were classified into 6 groups based on the identity of the uploaders, which included 3 kinds of medical professionals (ie, gastroenterologists, nongastroenterologists, and clinical nutritionists) and 3 types of non-medical professionals (ie, nonprofit organizations, individual science communicators, and IBD patients). The overall quality of the videos was poor. Further group comparisons demonstrated that videos from medical professionals were more instructive in terms of content comprehensiveness, quality, and reliability than those from non-medical professionals. Moreover, IBD diet-related recommendations from clinical nutritionists and gastroenterologists were of better quality than those from nongastroenterologists, while recommendations from nonprofit organizations did not seem to be superior to other groups of uploaders. CONCLUSIONS The overall quality of the information in IBD diet-related videos is unsatisfactory and varies significantly depending on the source. Videos from medical professionals, especially clinical nutritionists and gastroenterologists, may provide dietary guidance with higher quality for IBD patients.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic and incurable conditions of the gastro-intestinal tract with an increasing incidence and prevalence worldwide. Common symptoms are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Despite recent advances in medical management, many patients fail to achieve clinical remission and healing of the mucosa of the bowel. The cause is thought to involve an inappropriate reaction of the immune system, the microbiome and the environment in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to chronic bowel inflammation. Evidence is emerging that diet is a key environmental factor that might influence disease onset and course, and therefore may become a therapeutic strategy to mitigate inflammation and symptoms. Since IBD is a heterogeneous disease on a clinical and a molecular level, personalizing dietary advice could be the crucial factor to achieve long-lasting changes in dietary behaviors that could not only improve nutritional status but also tackle gut inflammation and abdominal symptoms on an individual level. In this review, we first discuss different aspects of personalized nutrition, namely the level, focus, and scope of personalized dietary regimens. Then, we provide a framework for the different goals of nutritional therapy in IBD and current evidence for personalized dietary approaches. Lastly, we discuss the need for adequate trial designs, access to the right data types and the bioinformatic tools that are necessary to develop algorithms that will allow us to move from general "healthy eating" advice to truly personalized nutritional plans for the individual IBD patient.

Abstract
Background Fatigue is a frequently reported symptom of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), having a negative impact on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). Patients' experiences of this have not been researched in IBD. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with adults with Crohn's Disease from out-patient clinics in the United Kingdom. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, then analysed using thematic analysis. Results Fourteen participant interviews were conducted. Three key themes were identified: 1) 'The new normal' established through adaptation and acceptance; 2) 'Energy as a resource' describing attempts to better manage fatigue through planning and prioritising tasks; 3) 'Keeping healthy' encompasses participants' beliefs that 'good health' allows better management of fatigue. Conclusion Participants establish a 'new' normality, through maintaining the same or similar level of employment/education activities. However, this is often at the expense of social activities. Further research is required to explore patient led self-management interventions in IBD fatigue.

Abstract
The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing substantially in non-White races and ethnicities in the United States. As a part of promoting quality of life in patients with IBD, the optimization of food-related quality of life (FRQoL) is also indicated. It is known that the practices of food avoidance and restrictive eating are associated with a reduced FRQoL in IBD. Gaining insight into sociocultural influences on FRQoL will aid in the provision of culturally competent interventions to improve FRQoL in patients with IBD.

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
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic, progressive, immune-mediated diseases of the intestinal tract. The main subtypes of IBDs are Chron's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The etiology is still unclear, but there are genetic, environmental and host-related factors that contribute to the development of these diseases. Recent literature has shown that dietary therapy is the cornerstone of IBD treatment in terms of management of symptoms, relapse and care of the pathology. IBD patients show that microbiota dysbiosis and diet, especially dietary fiber, can modulate its composition. These patients are more at risk of energy protein malnutrition than the general population and are deficient in micronutrients. So far, no dietary component is considered responsible for IBD and there is not a specific therapeutic diet for it. The aim of this review is to evaluate the role of dietary fibers in CD and UC and help health professionals in the nutritional management of these pathologies. Further studies are necessary to determine the appropriate amount and type of fiber to suggest in the case of IBD to ameliorate psychosocial conditions and patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Food-related quality of life (FR-QoL) is impaired in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and education and support on food-related issues in IBD is needed. This feasibility trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of a web resource in enhancing FR-QoL in newly diagnosed IBD. Patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in the preceding 12 months, with an impaired FR-QoL, were recruited and randomised to either receive access to the web resource (covering IBD-specific diet concerns) or no access (control group) for 12 weeks, while receiving usual clinical care. FR-QoL, health-related quality of life, psychological outcomes, and clinical disease activity were assessed. Web resource usage was assessed, and patients' experiences of the web resource were investigated in semi-structured interviews. Of 81 patients screened, 50 participants were randomised, 30 to the web resource and 20 to control. FR-QoL increased more in the web resource (+11.7 SD 18.2) than control group (+1.4 SD 20.4) (p = 0.067), while IBD distress reduced in the web resource (-6.8 SD 26.6) and increased in the control group (+8.3 SD 25.5) (p = 0.052), albeit not statistically significantly. End of trial Crohn's disease clinical activity (PRO-2) was significantly lower in the web resource than control group (p = 0.046). Participants most frequently accessed web resource content discussing dietary management of gut symptoms and in semi-structured interviews, reported the website to contain relevant information. This feasibility study demonstrates potential effectiveness of the web resource on improving FR-QoL and psychological outcomes in IBD. An adequately powered effectiveness RCT is feasible to conduct and is now warranted. NCT03884686.

Abstract
Historically, dietitians played a minor part in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Patients were commonly referred for consequences of uncontrolled disease, such as malnutrition and bowel obstruction risk. Today, dietitians are fundamental members of the multidisciplinary IBD team, from educating on the role of diet at diagnosis and throughout the lifespan of a patient with IBD to guiding primary induction therapy. This aspect is reflected in published guidelines for IBD management, which previously placed diet as only a minor factor, but now have diet-specific publications. This Review describes a four-step approach in a dietitian's assessment and management of diet in patients with IBD: (1) identifying and correcting nutritional gaps and dietary imbalances; (2) considering diet to treat active disease with the use of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) or emerging diets that could replace EEN; (3) using therapeutic diets to control existing complications of IBD, such as reduced fibre to prevent bowel obstruction in stricturing disease or a fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols diet to manage co-existing functional gut symptoms; and (4) considering the role of diet in preventing IBD development in high-risk populations.

A Randomized Dietary Intervention to Increase Colonic and Peripheral Blood Short-Chain Fatty Acids Modulates the Blood B- and T-cell Compartments in Healthy Humans. Am J Clin Nutr 2022; 116:1354-1367. [PMID: 36084000 PMCID: PMC9630882 DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/nqac246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) have immune-modulating effects in animal models of disease. However, there is limited evidence that this may occur in humans. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the effects of increased exposure to SCFA via dietary manipulation on colonic fermentation and adaptive immune cells. METHODS Twenty healthy, young adults (18-45 years of age) underwent a blinded, randomized, cross-over dietary intervention, consuming a high-SCFA producing diet and matched low-SCFA diet for 21 days with 21-day wash-out in between. SCFA were provided through resistant starch, inulin and apple cider vinegar. Blood and 3-day total fecal output were collected at baseline and at the end of each diet. Gas chromatography was used to measure fecal and plasma SCFA. Flow cytometry was used for peripheral blood immuno-phenotyping. RESULTS High-SCFA diet was associated with significantly (paired samples Wilcoxon test) higher median [IQR] fecal SCFA concentrations (86.6 [59.0] vs 75.4 [56.2] µmol/g, P = 0.02) and significantly lower median fecal ammonia concentrations (26.2 [14.7] vs 33.4 [18.5] µmol/g, P = 0.04) than the low-SCFA diet. Plasma propionate (9.87 [12.3] vs 4.72 [7.6] µmol/L, P = 0.049) and butyrate (2.85 [1.35] vs 2.02 [1.29] µmol/L, P = 0.03) were significantly higher after high-SCFA diet than after low-SCFA diet. Blood total B cells (184 [112] vs 199 [143] cells/µL, P = 0.04), naive B cells (83 [66] vs 95 [89] cells/µL, P = 0.02), Th1 cells (22 [19] vs 29 [16] cells/µL, P = 0.03) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells (62 [83] vs 69 [114] cells/µL, P = 0.02) were significantly lower after high-SCFA diet than low-SCFA diet. CONCLUSION Increasing colonic and peripheral blood SCFA has discrete effects on circulating immune cells in healthy humans following 3-week intervention. Further studies, e.g., in patients with inflammatory disease, are necessary to determine if these changes have immunomodulatory effects, whether these are therapeutically beneficial, and whether prolonged intake might be required.

Palamenghi L, Figliuc P, Leone S, Graffigna G. Food and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A scoping review on the impact of food on patients' psychosocial quality of life. HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE IN THE COMMUNITY 2022; 30:1695-1712. [PMID: 35174921 PMCID: PMC9542804 DOI: 10.1111/hsc.13755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Growing bodies of literature show that a controlled diet is important in controlling the symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). This leads patients to avoid foods considered potentially harmful. However, food is not just a nutrient but entails a series of hedonistic, cultural and social values. Thus, there is the concern that having to renounce certain foods might exert an impact on patients' psychosocial quality of life, particularly in younger patients. The aim of this paper is to review the existing literature to address which aspects of the patients' quality of life are affected by food restrictions. A scoping review was carried out. Five different databases were searched in January 2021. Retrieved papers were then screened to only include the relevant studies. Data were extracted and the main results of the studies were charted. A thematic analysis was carried out on the main results to identify the areas of psychosocial quality of life more often impacted by the food restrictions. From the initially identified 1967 unique entries, 14 studies were included. Results show that the perceived importance of food in controlling symptoms is confirmed by patients' accounts. The most common strategy adopted was, thus, the avoidance of trigger foods. The thematic analysis revealed three domains that are impacted by these restrictions: psychological quality of life, social life, family sphere. This study highlights the impact that food restrictions exert on IBD patients' quality of life, and warrants further studies to fill existing gaps, in particular regarding younger patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that there is an association between diet and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Diet may play a role in disease pathogenesis but also in treatment and management of IBD. There is an increased interest in dietary aspects of people with IBD. AIMS To investigate dietary practices, beliefs and behaviours of adults with IBD in Ireland. METHODS An online questionnaire was adapted to explore dietary practices, beliefs and behaviours of people with IBD, and to identify any dietary modifications made due to their IBD. RESULTS A total of 475 participants (female n = 354, male n = 121) took part in this study, 62% had Crohn's disease and 38% had ulcerative colitis. Dietary restrictions were imposed in the hope of preventing a relapse by 85% of participants. The most reported foods avoided included fatty foods (68%), spicy foods (64%) and raw vegetables or fruit (58%). Low fibre white plain foods (74%) appeared to improve symptoms during a relapse. Participant's appetites were higher during remission (8.36, SD = ± 1.95), compared to during relapse (3.71, SD = ± 2.32) (P ≤ 0.001). Almost three-quarters (73%) avoided the same menu as others living in their household and 56% avoided eating out to prevent or for fear of causing a relapse. Additionally, 70% avoided food or drink they liked to try prevent a relapse. CONCLUSION These findings provide important insights into the dietary practices, beliefs and behaviours of adults with IBD. Its evident diet plays an important role, and our findings reiterate the importance of patient education and support.

Abstract
Purpose Food-related quality of life is considerably impaired in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and should be widely measured in research and clinical practice. This study aims to translate the FR-QoL-29 instrument to the Turkish language and evaluate its validity and reliability in Turkish patients with IBD. Methods The FR-QoL-29 was forwards and backwards translated into Turkish and the validity and reliability of the FR-QoL-29-Turkish measured at two tertiary hospitals in Ankara, Turkey. Participants completed four questionnaires regarding: sociodemographic; clinical (disease type and activity), and nutritional characteristics (MUST) together with FR-QoL-29-Turkish. In addition, 30 patients repeated the questionnaires after two weeks. collected. Pearson correlation coefficients and Cronbach α were used to assess reliability and validity (p < 0.05). Results A total of 180 participants with IBD (78 Crohn’s disease, 102 ulcerative colitis), with a mean age of 45.9 ± 12.5 years, were included. Bartlett's sphericity test was statistically significant (p < 0.001), meeting the prerequisite for factor analysis, and the adequacy of the sample size for factor analysis was confirmed by a high Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO = 0.92). Validity was confirmed by factor loadings ranging from 0.310 to 0.858. Item-total score correlations ranged from 0.258 to 0.837 and Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.96 for the whole questionnaire indicating high internal consistency. Conclusions FR-QoL-29-Turkish is a valid and reliable measure of food-related quality of life in IBD patients with Turkish language. The FR-QoL-29-Turkish gives a comprehensive overview of the main aspects of food quality of life and can be used as a useful tool in both research and clinical practice.

Abstract
There is accumulating evidence for the fundamental role of diet in the integrated care of disorders of gut-brain interaction. Food is a complex mixture of components with individual, synergistic, and antagonistic effects, compared with the relative purity of a pharmaceutical. Food is also an inherent part of individuals' daily lives, and food choice is strongly tied to food preferences, personal beliefs, cultural and religious practices, and economic status, which can influence its ability to function as a therapeutic intervention. Hence, randomized controlled trials of dietary interventions carry unique methodological complexities that are not applicable to pharmaceutical trials that if disregarded can pose significant risk to trial quality. The challenges of designing and delivering the dietary intervention depend on the type of intervention (i.e., nutrient vs food supplementation or whole-diet intervention). Furthermore, there are multiple modes of delivery of dietary interventions, each with their own advantages (e.g., the high precision of feeding trials and the strong clinical applicability of dietary counseling trials). Randomized placebo-controlled trials of dietary interventions are possible with sufficient attention to their design and methodological nuances. Collaboration with experts in nutrition and dietetics is essential for the planning phase; however, even with expert input, not all challenges can be overcome. Researchers undertaking future dietary trials must be transparent in reporting these challenges and approaches for overcoming them. This review aims to provide guiding principles and recommendations for addressing these challenges to facilitate the conduct and reporting of high-quality trials that inform and improve clinical practice.

Abstract
Diet is an important lifestyle factor that is known to contribute in the development of human disease. It is well established that poor diet plays an active role in exacerbating metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Our understanding of how the immune system drives chronic inflammation and disease pathogenesis has evolved in recent years. However, the contribution of dietary factors to inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis and arthritis remain poorly defined. A western diet has been associated as pro-inflammatory, in contrast to traditional dietary patterns that are associated as being anti-inflammatory. This may be due to direct effects of nutrients on immune cell function. Diet may also affect the composition and function of gut microbiota, which consequently affects immunity. In animal models of inflammatory disease, diet may modulate inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and in other peripheral sites. Despite limitations of animal models, there is now emerging evidence to show that anti-inflammatory effects of diet may translate to human gastrointestinal and inflammatory diseases. However, appropriately designed, larger clinical studies must be conducted to confirm the therapeutic benefit of dietary therapy.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affect the gastrointestinal tract: they include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Each has a different phenotypic spectrum, characterized by gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. People living with IBD are very interested in diet, but little is known about the impact of diet on these patients; no guidelines are available yet. In this review, we analyze the dietary patterns of patients with IBD and the approach to the choices of foods both in adults and pediatric patients. Very often, IBD patients report an intentional avoidance of gluten to manage the disease; furthermore, a proportion of IBD patients believe that dairy products worsen their symptoms and that avoidance may help the disease. They have a low compliance with the Mediterranean Diet, which is considered to have potential benefits but is little used in practice. In conclusion, the review underscores the pivotal role of nutritional counselling in IBD patients, and the importance of future clinical studies to evaluate the beneficial effects of dietary recommendations in the management of IBD.

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.

The dietary practices and beliefs of people living with older-onset inflammatory bowel disease. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 33:e442-e448.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The role of diet in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains incompletely understood. Studies have previously examined dietary practices in IBD, but none have specifically focused on older-onset disease. IBD may put vulnerable groups at risk of nutritional deficiency and associated complications, potentially heightened by comorbidities, frailty and polypharmacy. Our objective was to describe dietary practices and beliefs in older-onset IBD. METHODS A questionnaire exploring dietary practices and beliefs was prospectively administered to 137 people with older-onset IBD attending gastroenterology clinics. RESULTS Thirty-two percent believed diet was the initiating factor for their IBD. This was significantly more likely in people with Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis (P = 0.05) and in those who felt limited in their dietary choices due to cost (P = 0.008). Forty-three percent believed diet could trigger IBD relapse and 68% avoided dietary components to avoid relapse. Most frequently avoided were spicy and fatty foods, carbonated drinks, red meat, alcohol and raw fruit and vegetables. Twenty-two percent of participants had tried a whole food exclusion diet, most frequently gluten- or lactose-free. Almost a third avoided eating out (29%) or eating the same meal as their family (32%) to prevent relapse. Respondents rarely relied upon healthcare professionals or patient support organisations for their dietary information. CONCLUSION Individuals with older-onset IBD report dietary practices with a high degree of consistency. Dietary avoidance may impact upon both nutritional and psychosocial wellbeing in this more vulnerable group and, as such, early dietetic assessment could help improve outcomes.

[PMID: 34323292 DOI: 10.1111/apt.16549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor dietary intake is associated with the development of malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, anaemia and osteoporosis in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease. While trials are underway to manipulate the diet of people with IBD, there has been no comprehensive systematic review of the dietary intake of adults with IBD. AIMS To conduct a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of the dietary intake of adults with IBD, including macronutrients, micronutrients and food group data. METHODS CINAHL, Embase, Medline and Scopus were searched from 1 January 2000 to 25 September 2020 for cohort, case-control or cross-sectional studies that reported usual dietary intake in adults. Data were pooled and reported as weighted mean intake for: all adults with IBD; Crohn's disease; ulcerative colitis; active disease; remission; males; females. A random-effects meta-analysis model compared intake with healthy individuals. RESULTS Forty studies were identified and 19 were included in the meta-analysis. All subgroups of adults with IBD consumed inadequate energy (mean intake in adults with IBD 1980 ± 130 kcal), fibre (14 ± 4 g), folate (246 ± 33 mg) and calcium (529 ± 114 mg) per day. Intake of breads and cereals, legumes, fruit, vegetables and dairy were inadequate. Compared to healthy individuals, adults with IBD consume significantly less dietary fibre (SMD -0.59; 95% CI: -0.73, -0.46). CONCLUSIONS This review provides improved clarity about the dietary intake of adults with IBD. Future attention is required to improve diet quality and increase understanding of factors influencing dietary intake in IBD.

Food avoidance, restrictive eating behaviour and association with quality of life in adults with inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic scoping review. Appetite 2021; 167:105650. [PMID: 34391842 DOI: 10.1016/j.appet.2021.105650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
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.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18158038. [PMID: 34360327 PMCID: PMC8345596 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18158038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, chronic conditions involving inflammation and ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract. Individuals with IBD may be susceptible to experiencing health-related stigma: experienced, perceived, or internalised social exclusion, rejection, blame, or devaluation resulting from negative social judgements based on the disease. This qualitative research synthesis draws together findings from 38 studies describing lived experiences to develop a unified interpretative account of the experience of stigma in IBD. Analysis developed two categories: ‘The IBD journey’ explores the dynamic ways in which having IBD impacted on individuals’ self-identity and ‘a need to be understood’ examines the tension between wanting to be understood whilst feeling their true experiences needed to be hidden from or were misjudged by the social sphere. The overarching concept ‘feeling of otherness’ highlights that, rather than a static, binary experience, individuals moved across a continuum ranging from the excluding experience of feeling stigmatised and othered, to the inclusive experience of integration. Individuals fluctuated along this continuum across different physical, social, and health contexts. Psychological adjustment to IBD, drawing on experience of adaptive coping, and reconnecting with valued others through illness disclosure strengthened stigma resistance during more challenging times.

Abstract
Food-related quality of life is defined as achieving adequate nutrition, deriving pleasure, and maintaining social activities through eating and drinking. The objective of this qualitative study was to characterize the parental perspective about eating experiences and family functioning after diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in their child in order to describe how these experiences may impact food-related quality of life. Semistructured interviews were completed with 10 parents of a child with inflammatory bowel disease. Conventional content analysis was conducted with steps to ensure trustworthiness. Family Systems Theory was the interpretive framework. Ambiguous nutrition information emerged as the main theme. Families experienced various and conflicting viewpoints regarding the role of diet, which presented a challenge after diagnosis. Parents reported frustration regarding the lack of uniform and personalized nutrition guidance. Our results support that families desire shared decision-making in regard to medication and diet, which is an important clinical practice implication for the entire gastroenterology medical team. Understanding the challenges faced by families after a major medical diagnosis in a child provides insight into designing medical interventions that maintain optimal quality of life in families.

Abstract
The global burden of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] has increased over the 21st century. Despite multiple studies investigating the pathogenesis of IBD, the causative mechanisms pertaining to its increased prevalence remain unclear. There is growing evidence that aspects of a 'Western diet' increase the risk of developing IBD. More recently, evidence implicating dietary emulsifiers has accumulated, with ecological studies showing a positive correlation between inflammatory bowel disease and emulsifier consumption. Further to these, cell and animal studies have demonstrated plausible mechanisms by which dietary emulsifiers may contribute to IBD pathogenesis through mechanisms including: promotion of pro-inflammatory intestinal microbiota; disruption of mucus architecture; increased intestinal permeability; activation of inflammatory pathways; and disruption of the cell cycle. This review critically analyses the current evidence for these mechanisms that may be of pathological relevance to IBD, evaluates recent dietary trials, acknowledges the challenges of dietary intervention studies, and gives an overview of ongoing and future clinical trials in this important area.

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
Parents of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are important members of their healthcare team and influence their child’s adaptation to disease. The primary aim of this research was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a three-session online parent workshop based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and address concerns about eating well and nutrition in IBD. The secondary aim was to explore the initial effectiveness of this workshop in parent reported psychological flexibility, mindfulness, experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, valued living, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. We used a single arm pragmatic prospective study design with parents of children attending the IBD program at a tertiary pediatric healthcare centre in Canada. Mixed methods patient reported outcomes were measured at baseline, immediate post participation, and 3 months post participation in the workshop. Thirty-seven parents enrolled in the study and feasibility and acceptability goals were largely met. Parents qualitatively described changes to their parenting, what aspects of the workshop were most helpful, and targeted feedback on how to improve workshop. Findings suggest that providing parents of children with IBD a brief online ACT workshop including nutrition guidance is feasible and leads to changes in parenting behaviours.

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.
