Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining gastrointestinal (GI) health and affects the management of various GI diseases. Dietary choices can significantly impact the disease onset, progression, and symptom severity of a variety of conditions ranging from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to disorders of the gut–brain interaction (DGBI) (one of the prototype phenotypes is irritable bowel syndrome—IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
This Special Issue, entitled “Dietary Strategies and Nutritional Therapies in Gastrointestinal Disease Management”, explores the complex interactions between nutrition and the digestive system, highlighting the latest research on dietary interventions, gut microbiota modulation, and the role of specific nutrients in GI disorders.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and clinical studies investigating the role of diet and supplementation in gastrointestinal diseases, including the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, supplements, elimination diets, and novel nutritional therapies. Contributions are encouraged to address the molecular mechanisms linking diet, gut health, and personalized dietary approaches based on preclinical studies, microbiome profiling, and metabolomic techniques.
By gathering cutting-edge insights, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on how dietary modifications can serve as preventive and therapeutic tools in GI disease management.
