Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Nutrition and Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents are essential. In infants, in the first year of life, the universally guidelines are not common in practice and pose difficulties to parents. The greater number of exclusive breastfeeding months for the present and future life, the better the introduction of diversification or gluten. As I say to my medical students, if you use eggs at 9 months, if another food in the scale is not based on medicine rules, and if parents need a PhD to feed the infant, you can give all the food after 6 months of life, except additional sugar, salt, and food that infant can inhale or choke on.
Moreover, the consistence of food is important. For celiac patients, the gluten-free diet needs to be perfect and preferential to be natural. The gut microbiome is important in pediatric gastroenterology dietary guidelines. The prevalence of pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease increases and less contact with nature and earth, normal infections in children, and the inadequate use of antibiotic can increase prevalence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks was found to decrease infections, e.g., bronchiolitis and VSR infections. When masks were no longer used, children who did not have any natural infectious as infants had VSR infections in summer, as well as other more severe infections.
We invite clinicians, researchers, and students to submit relevant scientific work, whether original articles or reviews, to this Special Issue on “Nutrition and Dietary Guidelines for Pediatric Gastroenterology“.
