The significance of the problem of acute intestinal infections (AII) to date is associated with both their prevalence and high rate of adverse effects in the outcome of the disease. In modern literature there is enough information about the frequent occurrence in AII patients microbiota disorders, immune system imbalances, identifying signs of reactive changes ofpancreatic tissue and functional disorders of biliary tract, lactase deficiency, long-term disorders of functional activity of the digestive system. The data about AII as one of the factors of forming the gastrointestinal tract pathology, including irritable bowel syndrome have been accumulated.

Aim. Assessment of the quality of life and physical activity level in students with and without symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) according to questionnaire “7×7” (7 symptoms per 7 days).Materials and methods. Symptoms of FD and IBS were surveyed using the “7×7” questionnaire. Level of physical activity was evaluated according to the short IPAQ, and quality of life — to WAM questionnaires.Results. The study surveyed 92 students aged 20.7 ± 0.2 years (56 men and 36 women). We report borderline manifestations of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in 51.1 %, and FD and/or IBS symptoms of mild to moderate severity in 23.9 % of respondents. Symptoms of FD and/or IBS were equally common in men and women. Severity of FD and/or IBS symptoms was rated 4 [[3; 7] in men and 4 [[4; 11] in women (p = 0.25). Physical activity of 57.6 % in students corresponded to a moderate level. Healthy students were more likely to exhibit higher physical activity than individuals with FD and/or IBS symptoms, 56.5 and 31.9 %, respectively (p = 0.04). The level of wellbeing and severity of FD and/or IBS symptoms correlated negatively (r = –0.28, p = 0.01). Wellbeing and mood correlated directly with physical activity, r = 0.33, p = 0.001 and r = 0.27, respectively (p = 0.01).Conclusions. 1. Symptoms of FD and/or IBS occur widely among students and equally in men and women. Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract of mild to moderate severity occur in 23.9 % of students, with borderline symptoms registered with every second individual. 2. Healthy students significantly more often exhibited higher physical activity compared to individuals with FD and/or IBS symptoms of varying severity in the ratios of 56.5 and 31.9 % (p = 0.04). 3. Severity of FD and/or IBS in students negatively correlates with the wellbeing component of quality of life (r = –0.28, p = 0.01).

Irritable Bowel

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – a recurrent functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the main symptom of which is abdominal pain necessarily associated with a change in intestinal function. IBS is a functional intestinal disorder in which recurrent abdominal pain is associated with a defecation act and a change in the frequency or shape of the stool. The diagnosis of IBS remains exclusively clinical. The difficulty in studying IBS, especially from the perspective of its epidemiology, is that there is still no universal and specific biological marker. Very often patients complain about symptoms typical for several functional disorders, in particular, biliary tract pathology and IBS. The article discusses the multi-component causes and mechanisms of IBS formation, which are also present in other functional gastrointestinal tract diseases. Patients with IBS often have functional disorders of the biliary tract (FDBT) that are not associated with organic pathology. There are no reliable differences in the frequency and nature of FDBT in patients with IBS, depending on its current variant - with constipation or diarrhea prevalence. As a result, the treatment of patients with IBS remains a challenge, and the recurrence of the disease depends on the state of psycho-emotional health, the presence of overlap syndrome in most cases. The article presents the main international criteria for diagnostics of IBS. The main approaches to the treatment of IBS are considered. Good results in the treatment of IBS are observed when using drugs that affect the complex of pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease. This is confirmed in the article by a clinical case study. The prescription of the Sparex drug for pain relief in a patient with IBS and FDBT is justified by the fact that it not only eliminates pain, but also improves the rheological properties of bile, typical for overlap “IBS-FDBT” syndrome.

IBS-like syndromes are one of the most important problems in gastroenterology. The clinical picture is identical to that of irritable bowel syndrome can be associated with inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, celiac disease, food allergy, lactase deficiency enteropathy, non-celiac sensitivity, gluten and other diseases. In this regard, irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion and always requires a rather complex differential diagnosis to establish the true cause of the disease, conduct adequate therapy and achieve a stable remission. The purpose of the review was to obtain scientific knowledge about IBS-like syndromes and to develop optimal management tactics for these patients. The review demonstrates that the clinical manifestations of IBS are largely nonspecific due to the frequent transition of one form of the disease to another, which creates certain difficulties in making a diagnosis. Timely diagnosis of IBS-like syndromes, often superimposed on the already existing IBS pathology, significantly improves the results of treatment of patients with intestinal symptoms and ensures long-term preservation of remission of the disease.

The article presents new definitions of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (Roman criteria IV) and irritable bowel syndrome (from the section of functional disorders of the intestine). Modern pathogenetic links of IBS and changes in intestinal flora as one of the main pathogenetic mechanisms are considered. The use of probiotics in the treatment of IBS is considered and the data of effective treatment of 520 patients (IBS-diarrhea: 120 children and 400 adults) with the new multiprobiotic Bac-Set are presented.

Abstract Oat is rich in valuable nutrients. In comparison to other cereals, oat contains more total proteins, carbohydrate, fat, non-starch fibre, as well as unique antioxidants (one of them - avenanthramides), vitamins, and minerals. One of the most often studied components of oats is β-glucan - a type of soluble dietary fibre located throughout the starch endosperm, but with highest concentration in the bran. Many studies have shown the beneficial health effects of oat β-glucan as a soluble dietary fibre. Until now, most of the studies on this nutrient have been conducted in the cardiovascular and diabetology field. This article aimed to review the literature on studies that investigated the effects of oat-based products on human gastrointestinal tract - gastrointestinal microflora, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease as well as prevention/treatment of colorectal cancer. A literature search was conducted using PubMed database. More than 80 potential articles were identified, which were selected afterwards according to aims of our study. Studies done on human were preferred. A long-term dietary intake of oat-based products improves human intestinal microflora, could have benefits in irritable bowel syndrome, and probable effects were seen in patients with ulcerative colitis, but this remains to be proven. There are few studies regarding prevention/treatment of colorectal cancer and they do not show clear benefit nor provide recommendations.

Irritable Bowel

Doctors of different ethnic groups were asked to make a self-diagnosis of the irritable bowel syndrome and intolerance to cows' milk: 13.3 per cent of white and 18.1 per cent of non-white doctors thought they had the irritable bowel syndrome. In non-white males, aged 25 to 49 years, the irritable bowel syndrome was significantly associated with an awareness of milk intolerance (p<0.0001). The stated milk consumption of doctors who were milk intolerant was less than the consumption of those not affected by milk. Further studies of the irritable bowel syndrome and lactase deficiency in non-hospital based populations are recommended.
