Nutrition in Neurogastroenterology

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue of Nutrients, entitled ‘Nutrition in Neurogastroenterology’.

In recent years, the interplay between nutrition, the gut, and the nervous system has become an emerging field of research, with important implications for both gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal health. The gut–brain axis (GBA), microbiota modulation, dietary interventions, and the role of nutrients in Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction (DGBIs) are gaining increasing attention in both clinical and translational research.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an updated overview of how nutrition influences neurogastroenterological function and disease. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The role of dietary patterns and nutrients in DGBIs, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, chronic constipation, and functional diarrhea, among others defined by the Rome IV criteria.
• Nutrition and the GBA: mechanisms, mediators, and clinical implications.
• Microbiota-targeted nutritional strategies, probiotics, and prebiotics.
• The psychological and behavioral aspects of diet in GBA interactions.

We warmly invite you to contribute original research articles, reviews, clinical trials, and translational studies that address these aspects of nutrition in neurogastroenterology.

We anticipate that this Special Issue will serve as a platform to foster discussion and collaboration, and will expand our current knowledge on the impact of nutrition in neurogastroenterology.
