Fear strongly influences pain perception in inflammatory bowel disease patients https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251212/Fear-strongly-influences-pain-perception-in-inflammatory-bowel-disease-patients.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bowel_cancer_newsletter_18_december_2025 Fear strongly influences pain perception in inflammatory bowel disease patientsPain perception in affected individuals is more strongly influenced by learned fear than in healthy individuals. Changes along the gut-brain axis related to chronic inflammation may explain this. Advances in delivering oxygen-sensitive gut bacteria improve microbial therapies https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251215/Advances-in-delivering-oxygen-sensitive-gut-bacteria-improve-microbial-therapies.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bowel_cancer_newsletter_18_december_2025 Advances in delivering oxygen-sensitive gut bacteria improve microbial therapiesRecent research has identified practical ways to protect and deliver oxygen-sensitive gut bacteria for a path toward safer, standardized microbial therapies that could reduce reliance on donor-based faecal microbiota transplants. White bread vs wholegrain: which one is actually better for your health? https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251215/Advances-in-delivering-oxygen-sensitive-gut-bacteria-improve-microbial-therapies.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bowel_cancer_newsletter_18_december_2025 White bread vs wholegrain: which one is actually better for your health?This review dispels common myths about white and wholegrain bread by examining their composition processing and health effects. It concludes that while wholegrain breads offer added benefits white bread remains a safe affordable and nutritionally meaningful staple when fortified.

It also highlights that minimally processed dietary strategies, including EEN and CDED, show therapeutic promise, particularly in pediatric Crohn’s disease.
