Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases affect ever-increasing numbers of individuals worldwide. Alterations of the intestinal microbiome were reported for Crohn’s disease and at relapse in Ulcerative Colitis (UC); they were not clearly detected in UC at remission. Here we report the characterization of the microbiome by quantitative metagenomics in a cohort of 121 individuals, composed of 65 UC adult patients in remission and 56 healthy controls.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a major global health challenge. Early markers of disease initiation and progression are urgently needed. We, and others, have previously shown changes in the gut microbiome in association with metabolic and CVD. Here, we demonstrate that gut microbiome-related changes can be detected in association with subclinical variations in heart and kidney function.

Abstract Background & Aims There is limited evidence that a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) reduces gut symptoms in quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
