“…The SCD is based on the theory that both disaccharides and polysaccharides are not fully absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to bacterial overgrowth, yeast production, and excessive creation of mucus. These symptoms are thought to perpetuate mucosal damage, resulting in even poorer absorption and increased inflammation [7,8,[11][12][13][14][15] . It has been further hypothesized that the malabsorption of these complex carbohydrates and certain sugars may lead to harmful aberrations in the gut microbiome, further contributing to the disease state [8,[13][14][15][16] .…”

“…Although the SCD shows promise as a potentially effective treatment for CD, objective research is not currently abundant [8,12] . However, over the past few years, studies examining the diet have increased in number and design [15] . The current paper seeks to systematically review existing research regarding the efficacy of the SCD in the treatment of CD, and importantly will include studies that are newly published.…”

“…The diet is supplemented with homemade yogurt fermented for 24 hours to minimize lactose, a disaccharide that is not allowed in the SCD. [20][21][22][23] The SCD allows almost all fruits, vegetables containing more amylose (a linear-chain polysaccharide) than amylopectin (a branch-chained polysaccharide), nuts, nut-derived flours, dry-curd cottage cheese, meat, eggs, butter and oils. It excludes sucrose, maltose, isomaltose, lactose, grain-derived flours and all true and pseudograins, potatoes, okra, corn, fluid milk, soy, cheeses containing high amounts of lactose, as well as most food additives and preservatives.…”

Background and Objectives: IBS is the most common functional disease of the low gastrointestinal tract. Recently, the interest towards a diet approach has increased, for example, a diet with low content of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of a low FODMAP diet and a specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) conducted for 3 months on symptoms and to evaluate the deficiencies of vitamin D and folic acid in patients affected by IBS, matching the Rome IV criteria. Methods: We evaluated 73 patients divided into 2 groups: one submitted to low FODMAP diet and one to SCD, for 3 months. Patients were assigned to one of the 2 groups randomly and blinded. All the patients filled a visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate the severity of symptoms and a diary to evaluate the number of days with symptoms, and this was repeated after 3 months. Final evaluation was made by a blinded investigator. Results: In the end, the patients with low FODMAP diet had a significant improvement in bloating and distension (P = 0.000); the group with SCD instead had a low but not a significant improvement. One way ANOVA showed comparable severity of symptoms in the 2 groups pre-diet (P = 0.215), but a difference in the same symptoms after 12 days (P = 0.000). Tukey test showed a significant improvement in the low FODMAP diet group and only a trend of improvement in the second group of SCD. The vitamin D mean value in both groups at the time of enrollment was 38 ng/mL; in the end, the mean value in the low FODMAP diet group was 32 ng/mL and in the SCD group was 22 ng/mL, with a statistically significant difference. The folic acid mean value at the time of enrollment was 18 mg/dL; in the end, the mean value in the low FODMAP diet group was 15 mg/dL and in the SCD group was 8 mg/dL, with a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Patients affected by IBS seem to have benefitted from a low FODMAP diet but not from an SCD, and a low FODMAP diet doesn't seem to cause vitamin D and folic acid deficiencies.

So far, JCSM has published 563 papers, Nutrition 6198 papers, and JNHA 2396 papers. On average, JCSM has published 56 papers/year, Nutrition 188 papers/year, and JNHA 104 papers/year, which of course are major determinants of the respective journal's impact factor. This also underscores that all three journals have different approaches towards the number of papers published per year. We are grateful and look forward to more submissions of excellent research in the field of wasting and muscle disorders and are confident to maintain high quality in the Journal.
