Abstract Background Prevalence of chronic gastrointestinal diseases has been rising amongst ethnic minority populations in Western countries, despite the first-generation migrants originating from countries of low prevalence. Differences caused by genetic, environmental, cultural, and religious factors in each context may contribute towards shaping experiences of ethnic minority individuals living with primary bowel conditions. This review aimed to explore the experiences of ethnic minority patients living with chronic bowel conditions. Methods We conducted a systematic scoping review to retrieve qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies from eight electronic databases, and manually searched reference lists of frequently cited papers. Results Fourteen papers met the inclusion criteria: focussing on inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and coeliac disease. Core themes were narratively analysed. South Asians had limited understanding of inflammatory bowel disease and coeliac disease, hindered by language and literacy barriers, particularly for older generations, suggesting that culturally relevant information is needed. Family support was limited, and Muslim South Asians referred to religion to understand and self-manage inflammatory bowel disease. Ethnic minority groups across countries experienced: poor dietary intake for coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, cultural conflict in self-managing diet for inflammatory bowel disease which increased anxiety, and there was a need for better quality of, and access to, healthcare services. British ethnic minority groups experienced difficulties with IBD diagnosis/misdiagnosis. Conclusions Cultural, religious, and social contexts, together with language barriers and limited health literacy influenced experiences of health inequalities for ethnic minority patients living with chronic bowel diseases.

Inflammatory Bowel

Changes in the gut microbiome have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease. A protective role of short chain fatty acids produced by the gut microbiota has been suggested as a causal mechanism. Nevertheless, multi-omic analyses have failed to identify a clear link between changes in specific taxa and disease states. Recently, metagenomic analyses unveiled that gut bacterial species have a previously unappreciated genomic diversity, implying that a geno-centric approach may be better suited to identifying the mechanisms involved. Here, we quantify the abundance of terminal genes in propionate-producing fermentative pathways in the microbiome of a large cohort of healthy subjects and patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The results show that propionate kinases responsible for propionate production in the gut are depleted in patients with Crohn’s disease. Our results also indicate that changes in overall species abundances do not necessarily correlate with changes in the abundances of metabolic genes, suggesting that these genes are not part of the core genome. This, in turn, suggests that changes in strain composition may be as important as changes in species abundance in alterations of the gut microbiome associated with pathological conditions.
