Definitions
• Dietary Fiber = Nonstarchpolysaccharides of plant foods poorlydigested by human enzymes
• Prebiotics = Nonstarch polysaccharide orother substance supplements poorlydigested by human enzymes that nurtureprobiotic organisms
• Probiotics = human microorganisms fed assupplements that benefit the host

Dietary Fiber
• By chemical analysis fiber can be
broken into soluble and inso lub le
components (resistant starch identified by other chemical method)
• Soluble components are pectic substances, some hemicelluloses,gums and mucilages and are completely fermented by the bacterialflora
• Insoluble components are cellulose, some hemicelluloses, waxes, andlignin primarily in plant cell walls as well as resistant starch are onlyslightly fermented
• Wheat is 90% insoluble and 10% soluble
Oats are 50% insoluble and 50% soluble
Psyl l ium 10% insoluble and 90% soluble

Physiologic Properties
1. Slows transit in small bowel
2. Increases stool bulk
3. Holds on to water4. Forms gels
5. Binds minerals and organic substances
6. Stimulates bacterial growth
7. Metabolized to SCFA (SHORT CAHINFATTY ACID)

Benefits of Dietary Fiber
• Large Literature on Benefits. Some Conflicts But GeneralConsensus Is:
• Intake of greater than 25 to 35 gm/day associated with:
1. Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease and
Hyperlipidemia Control2.Decrease Stroke in Males
3.Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes
4.Treatment of Dietary Constipation
5.Prevention and Treatment of Diverticular Disease6.Inverse Relationship with Colon Cancer Development
(AGA consensus)

Fiber in Cancer Prevention
• Numerous epidemiologic studies• Prospective Decosse study in human
familial polyposis of the colon showed that
subjects on bran supplementation had lesspolyp formation
• Animal studies show that Lactobacilli
degrade carcinogens.• Bifidobacteria with and without prebiotics
decrease carcinogen activity and tumor
development in numerous animal studies.

PREBIOTICS
Supplements not digested by human enzymes thatstimulate growth of beneficial bacteria
• Fructo-oligosaccharides
• Inulin
• Galacto-,galactosyllactose-,xylo-,isomalto-andsoya oligosaccharides
• Pyrodextrins (glucose oligosaccharides)
• Lactulose
• Breast milk oligosaccharides

Oligosaccharides
• Usual pleasant slight sweet taste
• Add texture to foods
• Naturally occurs in artichoke, onion,garlic,chicory, leek, and to a lesser degree in
cereals
• Raffinose and stachynose are major CHOof beans and peas
• Commercially produced (FOS)

Benefits of Oligosaccharides
• Promote the growth of bifido-and
lactobacilli
• Lower colon pH
• Discourage growth of Clostridia
• Prevent constipation and diarrhea
• Have low glycemic index• Water-soluble and of low viscosity
• Do not bind minerals

Inulin
• Naturally occurs in fruits and vegetables
• Longer chain length than FOS
• Provides a fat mimicking texture whenadded to food
• Now available in a supplement

Hepatic Encephalopathy
• Lactulose as a prebiotic alters the enteric
flora and successfully reduces
encephalopathy
• Lactobacillus acidophilus has also been
used and associated with a decrease in
urease and amino-acid-oxidase activity

PROBIOTICS
• Live microbial food supplements which
beneficially affect the host animal by
improving its intestinal microbial balance.
• Usually strains of bacteria (lactobacilli or
bifidobacteria) or yeasts (Saccharomyces)
• Administered in yogurts or capsules
• Survive passage thru the gut

PROPERTIES of PROBIOTICS
• Human origin
• Resist upper GI tract secretions
• Adhere to human intestinal cells
• Colonize the human intestinal tract• Production of antimicrobial substances
• Antagonize carcinogenic/ pathogenic flora
• Safe in clinical use at > 1010
• Stimulate immune process
• Fermentation

Treating Infection
Antibiotic AssociatedDiarrhea (A)• Associated with C.difficile which may cause
pseudomembraneous colitis
• 3.2-29% of hospitalized patient
• Freeze dried lactobacillus not successful
• Lactobacillus GG successful in eradicating C.difficile
• Saccharomyces boulardii in DBC study reducedrecurrence from 22% to 9.5%
• BMJ “02 of nine studies revealed probiotics may prevent
C.difficile diarrhea• Probiotics used in prevention and as adjuvant therapy in
AAD.
