Nootric's participation in clinical research projects

Nootric and La Paz University Hospital explore the benefits of personalized nutrition for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Nootric and La Paz University Hospital have conducted a study to assess how personalized nutrition can improve the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This project analysed the impact of a digital nutritional intervention on reducing the risk of malnutrition and improving symptoms, with follow-up at 12 and 24 weeks. Led by Dr Cristina Suárez Ferrer, the study seeks to integrate nutritional support as a key pillar in the treatment of IBD, combining technology and specialised advice. In conclusion, the digital nutritional intervention using Nootric® proved to be a feasible, well-accepted tool associated with a significant improvement in adherence to the Mediterranean diet and in the protein parameters of patients with IBD. This support model may represent an effective complementary strategy in the comprehensive management of the disease, especially in settings where access to face-to-face nutritional follow-up is limited.

Why is nutrition important for digestive health?

The digestive health programme offered by Nootric is based on the fundamental idea that diet plays a crucial role in the health of the digestive system. Proper nutrition can not only alleviate the symptoms of digestive disorders, but also maintain the balance of the gut microbiota, prevent nutritional deficiencies and optimise overall health, thereby improving the quality of life of people affected by these conditions.

Digestive health and microbiota balance

Digestive health and gut microbiota balance are fundamental aspects of nutrition and overall well-being. The gut microbiota is composed of billions of microorganisms that interact with our digestive system and play key roles in nutrient absorption, metabolism, and protection against pathogens. Imbalances in the composition and diversity of the microbiota, known as dysbiosis, as well as excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine (SIBO), have been linked to various digestive conditions, such as chronic diarrhoea, abdominal bloating and general discomfort, as well as an association with various diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, diabetes and mood disorders.

Scientific research has shown that changes in diet can rapidly alter the composition of the microbiota, underscoring the importance of adopting healthy eating habits. A balanced, fibre-rich diet promotes microbial diversity and encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. However, it’s important to remember that everyone is different, and individual needs and conditions require a personalized nutritional approach for the most effective results.

Food intolerances

Food intolerances, such as lactose, sorbitol or fructose intolerance, can cause uncomfortable digestive symptoms, such as bloating, diarrhoea or discomfort. Nootric's digestive health programme offers personalized dietary guidelines to identify and avoid problematic foods, as well as recommendations for suitable substitutes to maintain balanced nutrition and avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses chronic conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These inflammatory diseases affect the digestive tract and can cause debilitating symptoms such as abdominal pain, chronic diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, and weight loss. Nootric's digestive health programme offers specific approaches to help relieve symptoms, control inflammation, and improve the quality of life for people suffering from these diseases.

Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic condition that affects the normal functioning of the bowel. It is characterised by recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel movement patterns and general discomfort. Nootric's digestive health programme focuses on specific dietary strategies, such as modifying fibre intake and incorporating probiotics, with the aim of reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life for people with IBS.

In some digestive conditions, temporarily following a low-FODMAP diet has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life of those affected. The FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) diet is a dietary approach that restricts certain fermentable carbohydrates that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in some people.

Nootric's digestive health programme offers personalized dietary guidelines that may include the FODMAP diet, among other approaches, to identify and avoid problematic foods and reduce digestive symptoms. These guidelines also include recommendations for suitable substitutes to maintain balanced nutrition and avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Nootric offers educational resources such as videos, guides, and challenges that will allow you to learn about the foods that are best suited to you, taking into account your food tolerance levels. These resources are designed to help you regenerate your mucous membranes, if necessary, and significantly improve your quality of life.
