CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Recent research suggests a correlation between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Coeliac Disease (CD), revealing a noteworthy connection between these two conditions. Effective management and treatment strategies should address both conditions simultaneously beyond conventional dietary plans. Could probiotics play a role in symptom management? This webinar will explore the microbiome of IBD and CD, analysing current principles and concepts on how probiotics might influence both conditions, with a focus on their mechanisms related to the pathogenesis of each disease.

During this webinar, specialised researchers and expert dietitians, Dr. Bridgette Wilson and Cristian Costas Batlle, will present the latest research findings on the association between IBD and CD, along with the potential role of probiotics in prophylactic and dietary management. The literature concerning gut microbiome composition in these conditions will be reviewed, exploring whether probiotics could serve as a viable treatment option through their ability to alter microbiome composition and other mechanisms.

We’ll cover:

  • The association between IBD and CD
  • The mechanisms of action and current evidence base for the role of probiotics in both IBD and CD
  • How to identify what patients/clients may benefit from probiotics
  • Future research needed to extend understanding of this area
