Gluten-free Diet Relieves ‘brain fog’ in Patients with Celiac Disease

Individuals with celiac disease often experience ‘brain fog’ in addition to intestinal problems, but a new study shows that adhering to a gluten-free diet can lead to improvements in cognition that correlate with the extent of intestinal healing. The Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics findings indicate that ridding the diet of gluten may help address problems [...]

Wound-healing role for microRNAs in colon offer new insight to inflammatory bowel diseases

A microRNA cluster believed to be important for suppressing colon cancer has been found to play a critical role in wound healing in the intestine, UT Southwestern cancer researchers have found. The findings, first discovered in mice and later reproduced in human cells, could provide a fresh avenue for investigating chronic digestive diseases and for [...]

Colon Cancer, Metabolism Link Found

Rather than the typical series of oxidative steps that take place in the citric acid cycle, cancer cells metabolize sugar via the glycolytic pathway irrespective of whether oxygen is present or not. InThe EMBO Journal, researchers in the United States report that the reason for this difference in colon cancer is [...]

Early detection of stomach cancer: New hope from new research

University of Adelaide research has provided new hope for the early detection of stomach cancer with the identification of four new biomarkers in the blood of human cancer patients. Stomach or gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world and the second leading cause of death due to cancer. “Stomach cancer is [...]

Pathway Uncovered Linking Heartburn to Esophageal Cancer

Got heartburn? More than 60 million adults in the U.S. have acid reflux, or heartburn, and approximately 10 percent are at risk for developing esophageal cancer, due in part to complications from Barrett’s esophagus. But researchers at Rhode Island Hospital discovered a pathway they believe links Barrett’s esophagus to the development of esophageal cancer. Their [...]

Research Shows, Cell Stress Inflames The Gut

Over 3.5 million people in Europe and the US suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis — the two most common forms of IBD. Chronic bowel inflammation is caused by an overreaction of the immune system to the bacteria which naturally occur in the gut. “This overreaction can come about if, for example, the anti-stress [...]

Growing Up On Livestock Farms Significantly Cuts Risk of IBD

New research conducted at Aarhus University has revealed that people who have grown up on a farm with livestock are only half as likely as their urban counterparts to develop the most common inflammatory bowel diseases: ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The study findings have recently been published in the European Journal of Epidemiology. “It [...]

When Good Gut Bacteria Gets Sick

Being sick due to an infection can make us feel lousy. But what must the ecosystem of bacteria, or microbiota, colonizing our guts be going through when hit with infection? A study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) has utilized unique computational models to show how infection can affect bacteria that naturally live in our [...]

Implantable Magnetic ‘Bracelet’ Brings Relief to GERD Sufferers

An innovative laparoscopic procedure that implants a ring of magnetic beads to help prevent acid reflux in patients who suffer from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is the latest tool surgeons at Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH) have to treat the disease. More than 30 million American’s suffer from acid reflux each month, and the risk [...]

Large Studies Identifies Exact Gut Bacteria In Crohn’s Disease

While the causes of Crohn’s disease are not well understood, recent research indicates an important role for an abnormal immune response to the microbes that live in the gut. In the largest study of its kind, researchers have now identified specific bacteria that are abnormally increased or decreased when Crohn’s disease develops. The findings, which [...]
