The epidemiology of these disorders is changing; food allergies are more common than previously thought, and there is a heightened sense of awareness about food sensitivities.

Myths and misconceptions about food allergies and sensitivities are common and may lead to unwarranted treatment using untested therapies.

The escalating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains of <i>H pylori</i> necessitates a change in management. The conventional strategy of empiric-based treatments is becoming increasingly ineffective in both adult and pediatric populations; rates of eradication to common first-line regimens remain suboptimal and continue to decline. Culture-based susceptibility testing for <i>H pylori</i> has been underutilized and challenging to incorporate into practice. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), which can identify the genetic biomarkers that predict antimicrobial resistance and susceptibility patterns, offers a promising alternative. NGS may enable clinicians to tailor individual treatment regimens and contribute to epidemiologic surveillance across populations. As NGS technology advances and becomes more accessible, its integration into routine clinical practice holds the potential to transform <i>H pylori</i> management strategies and improve patient outcomes. This article reviews the literature describing antimicrobial resistance patterns in adult and pediatric practice in the United States and provides practical guidance on the current role of NGS in the management of <i>H pylori.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":52498,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology and Hepatology","volume":"20 8","pages":"469-476"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11348536/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cluster is composed of diagnoses of hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSDs) such as joint hypermobility and hypermobile variant Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). The diagnosis of these entities remains a challenge, as the pathophysiology of each has not been completely elucidated and the diagnostic criteria continue to evolve. This article describes a cohort of young adult females who shared similar GI symptoms, with intractable nausea and vomiting being most prominent and gastroesophageal reflux disease and constipation also occurring. Most strikingly, these females also exhibited or reported a history of HSD, hEDS, POTS, and/or MCAS. The clinical course of their GI symptoms was remarkable for considerable challenges in management, and artificial nutritional support proved necessary for some. This article describes the clinical features and outcomes of their GI manifestations, examines how these manifestations might be linked to their systemic syndromes, and discusses whether a shared pathophysiology exists. Pending the definition of a common thread between these conditions, this article seeks to raise awareness of their clinical definitions and foster research that will hopefully improve outcomes for these patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":52498,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology and Hepatology","volume":"20 8","pages":"479-489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11348541/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
