IBS is a chronic disease without a clear etiology. 3-25% of the population of western countries are affected by IBS. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, incomplete stool, and constipation. These symptoms interfere with daily life and cause feelings of helplessness or hopelessness. The purpose of this study is to determine what diets IBS patients should adhere to in order to decrease symptoms that no diet change would exacerbate.

Objective: We evaluated the potential effect of oral glucose supplementation on: (1) exercise performance and tolerance, (2) the concentrations of plasma uric acid and ammonia (NH3) and (3) blood plasma markers of oxidative stress in patients with McArdle’s disease (MCD) after non-ischemic forearm exercise testing (non-ischemic forearm exercise test). Methods: Blood samples and exercise performance measures were performed on from 16 patients with MCD and 17 control subjects (CON) matched for age, sex and physical activity status. Subjects performed 2 exercise bouts 30 minutes apart and received oral glucose or placebo supplementation between tests. Blood samples were analyzed ...

The potential ability of dietary cranberry to inhibit colon carcinogenesis is under investigation. Compounds isolated from locally grown cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon) have been shown in vitro to decrease proliferation of colon cancer cells, in part by induction of apoptosis. These compounds include oligomeric polyphenols known as proanthocyanidins (PACs) containing two or more epicatechin units with different types of linkages. To further elucidate the mechanism by which PACs induce cell death, we transcriptionally profiled cells treated with PACs. HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells were exposed to a cranberry proanthocyanidin (PACs) fraction isolated from Early Black variety cranberry fruit, at ...
