The Nutrition for Gut Health Committee advances and communicates the scientific understanding of the impact of diet and dietary constituents on gut and host health.

(This Committee represents the evolution of the Gut Microbiome Committee.)

Strategic Focus Area

  • Advance shared definitions and approaches to measurement of gut health and gut microbiome across stakeholders.
  • Evaluate and advance the evidence for nutrition support of optimal gut and host health.
  • Communicate the evidence that underpins how diets and dietary constituents impact measures of gut health and other systems influenced by gut physiology.
  • Through the Live Dietary Microbes Subcommittee, gather, develop, and drive science- and evidence-based decisions on dietary recommendations for live microbes (learn more here). See news story about the promise of research on dietary microbes for health.

Current Work

This committee has various work underway:

Webinar Series

The Committee has initiated a webinar series to help guide the committee’s research and projects.

Methods in Nutrition & Gut Microbiome Research: An American Society for Nutrition Satellite Session

The microbial cells in the human gut form an ecosystem that regulates and maintains human health. IAFNS has joined the American Society for Nutrition in an effort to harmonize approaches to studying the gut microbiome to better explore these connections. The scientific session summarized how improving the accuracy, precision and comparability of microbiome research will build understanding of the associations between the microbiome, health and disease prevention.

Mapping the Available Evidence on the Impact of Ingested Live Microbes on Health: A Scoping Review Protocol

Some researchers think that the regular consumption of safe, live microbes confers health-promoting attributes, including the prevention of disease. To address this hypothesis, we propose a scoping review to assess the large amount of scientific literature that is now available on this topic.

Diet-Related and Gut-Derived Metabolites and Health Outcomes: A Scoping Review.

A scoping review to map evidence about the health impact of gut microbiota-derived metabolites is now available. The researchers found a need to conduct more prospective studies, including clinical trials. Researchers identified metabolites and conditions for which systematic reviews are warranted to characterize the direction and magnitude of metabolite-disease associations.

Beneficial Live Dietary Microbes: Is it Time for Recommended Intakes?

Virtual, Event

Evidence from human microbiome research, randomized controlled trials testing interventions containing probiotics on preventive and therapeutic endpoints, and associative studies linking fermented food consumption with improved health, all point to the value of the consumption of live microbes for supporting human health.

Live Microbe Data and How to Submit to the Global Branded Food Products Database

Virtual, Event

Food manufacturers can now include information on the amount of beneficial live microbes present in food products, specify the level (low, medium or high) of microbes and optionally indicate the microbe species. These data will support research on associations between beneficial live dietary microbes and health when linked to biomarkers of health and data on health outcomes.
