BACKGROUND Health effects of dietary fibres are the topic of many studies. Eligibility criteria often include a certain fibre intake, which requires dietary screening during recruitment. However, dietary assessment methods are extensive and burdensome for both the researcher and participant. Therefore, we developed and validated a short questionnaire (FiberScreen) to screen fibre intake. METHODS The initial five-item questionnaire assessed fruit, vegetable, whole grain, pasta/rice/potato and leg...

This cross-sectional study explored adherence to characteristics of BLW and differences in food group exposure and nutrient intake between babies following either TW or BLW. METHODS Nutritional data were collected via multiple-pass 24-h recall, following parental completion of an online survey. RESULTS Infants were grouped according to ...
Background null Dietary guidelines for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) emphasise weight management and individualised total carbohydrate intake. Evidence on the most effective dietary patterns (DPs) for T2DM management is mixed, potentially leading to variations in the advice that dietitians provide. The present study aimed to explore dietitians' practice of DP advice provision to adults with T2DM, as well as understand their views when advising their patients on the DPs deemed effective for gly...

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a growing health issue globally, which until recently has been considered to be one that is both chronic and progressive. Treatments, although having lifestyle and dietary change as core components, have been focused on optimising glycaemic control using pharmaceutical agents. With data from bariatric surgery and, more recently, total diet replacement (TDR) studies which have set out to achieve remission; remission of T2DM has emerged as treatment goal. A group of speci...
BACKGROUND Patients with a jejunostomy or high output stoma may need a glucose-sodium oral rehydration solution drink to maintain hydration. These solutions are unpalatable and a new flavoured pre-packaged solution was developed. METHODS After 8 h of fasting, 27 patients took 500 mL of the modified World Health Organization (WHO) cholera solution or Glucodrate® (Vitaflo) on two occasions in a cross-over random order and urine and stomal output was collected for 6 h. RESULTS There was a small but...
