Abstract
Adult Patients who were Breastfed are Less Anxious but Suffer More Frequently of Non-Diarrheic Functional Bowel Disorders
Highlights
Functional gastrointestinal disorders are pathologies of multifactorial origin
They suffer more frequently of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with constipation (P = 0.028; HR = 1.866; 95% CI = [1.069-3.256]), mixed IBS (P = 0.006; HR = 2.181; 95% CI = [1.254-3.792]), functional constipation (P = 0.006; HR = 1.909; 95% CI = [1.199-3.040]), and bloating (P = 0.039; HR = 1.624; 95% CI = [1.026-2.571])
Our results support the presence of an association between breastfeeding and non-diarrheic functional bowel disorders (IBS, IBS with constipation, mixed IBS, functional constipation and bloating) in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID) patients, but it demonstrates that these people are less acutely anxious
Summary
A shorter duration of breastfeeding has been found to enhance the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adulthood. The Rome criteria [1], a classification of the functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) has been proposed, for FGIDS not associated to any structural or biochemical abnormalities. These disorders can affect any part of the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, colon, terminal intestine). The prevalence of FGIDs in the general population is high: Functional dyspepsia 20 to 30%, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) 10 to 20%, functional constipation up to 27%, pelvic floor dysfunction 5 to 11% [2].
