with food intake patterns being the most pervasive of these. The infant’s immune system and intestinal homeostasis are progressively shaped by the microbiota, conrming the notion that diet in early life inuences the later risk of devel­oping immune diseases. Studies suggest that a calorie-rich diet, composed of fat and carbohydrate-based foods, leads to favourable development of Bacteroidetes phylum in adults. The overconsumption of omega-6 fatty acids is pro­inammatory and leads to loss of homeostasis because of its metabolised product arachidonic acid, a precursor for pro­inammatory eicosanoids. In contrast to this, a high intake of omega-3-fatty acids includes a-linolenic acid from plants and eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid from sh are anti-inammatory. Additionally, there is a link between low dietary bre consumption and elevated risk for Crohn’s disease [55].
Western diets, which typically consist of a high calorie intake with large consumption of carbohydrates, are linked to less abundance of microbial diversity, contrary to the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on fruits, vegetables, and red wine. Western diet is rich in simple carbohydrates (such as fructose and sucrose) and fat (such as long-chain fatty acids like arachidonic acid) and has little to no bre. Moreover, it is supplemented with emulsiers and food colourings. SCFAs the products of bacterial digestion of bres, which are having homeostatic functions in the mucosa and anti-inam­matory properties, were shown to plummet with Western diet. Several studies reported that consuming more simple carbo­hydrates induced dysbiosis and intestinal inammation. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are often obtained from vegetables and the bacterial metabolites they produce, have a protective effect. Many studies revealed that a high-fat diet boosts the anaerobic prevalence of Bacteroides. A high-fat diet is a key root problem of gut dysbiosis which may enhance gut inammation. Whey consumption and pea protein extracts promote the growth of Bidobacterium and Lactobacillus, while inhibiting the prevalence of Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium perfringens. An essential amino acid tryptophan, which is present in dietary protein and is metabo­lised by the gut microbiota in the colon, regulates microbial diversity and gut immunity. Contrary to plant-based protein, animal-based protein consumption led to a rise in the number of bile- tolerant anaerobes like Bacteroides, Bilophila, and Alistipes [56].
Excessive consumption of food additives disrupts micro­bial composition and fosters gut inammation. Saccharin and other articial sweeteners induce dysbiosis in humans. Emulsiers disturb gut microbial community structure and elevate the risk of gut inammation. Likewise, titanium dioxide, typically used as a white powder in candies and sugar-coated chewing gums, reduces gut permeability and stimulates gut inammation. Nutrition also promotes epi­genetic alterations either directly or indirectly through the
action of the gut microbiome, since some metabolites have the potential to impact gene expression, chromatin remodel­ling, and DNA methylation. Healthy diets with sufcient concentrations of vitamin D have been shown to be bene­cial in IBS by boosting dendritic cell proliferation and reduc­ing the production of pro-inammatory cytokines. Zinc is also involved in DNA replication and transcription and has immune regulatory effects. Iron, folate, and vitamin B12 are critical for haemoglobin/blood cell formation. Additionally, specic carbohydrate diet (SCD, which excludes all carbo­hydrates except monosaccharides) and a diet low in ferment­able oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols have shown favourable results in IBS. Micronutrients also have the potential to inuence the microbiota. One cohort study reported that the development of IBS has a positive correla­tion with the iron level of drinking water. These ndings pro­vide credence to the notion that dietary manipulations might modify the gut microbiota [57].
3 Current Approaches forManaging IBS
andRelated Disorders
3.1 Marketed Drugs, Drawbacks ofConventional Treatment
Treatment for IBS is aimed at bringing about and keeping the disease in remission. The aims have altered in recent years from clinical remission to achieving “sustained profound remission” via mucosal healing. Nonbiological treatments that include anti-inammatory or immunosuppressive medi­cines comprise aminosalicylates, steroids, and 6- mercaptopurine. These drugs alleviate UC and CD symp­toms but do not alter the progression of the disease.
For instance, despite their effectiveness in reducing mild inammation in UC patients, aminosalicylates are not very effective in treating symptoms of CD.Also, attempting to take these traditional drugs for a long time often weakens the immune system and has other serious side effects [4, 5862]. So, there is a strong need for other treatments that can start and keep remis­sion going. One of the ancient medical interventions is the use of therapeutic herbs. Hence, patients with inammatory bowel disease are more likely to use complementary and alternative medicine (21–60%), especially herbal treatments, because of the positive benets they have been documented to have on patients’ health. This alternative herbal therapy may still be the sole curative option available to communities as well as ethnic groups without a formal system of health care even today, espe­cially in developing nations. By inhibiting the synthesis of inter­cellular adhesion molecules including NO, iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB, as well as lowering ROS and enhancing antioxidant effects, these natural treatments decrease the course of IBS [59,
6369]. Tables 2, 3, and 4 illustrate the application of medicinal

herbs acting independently or in combinational treatment for alleviating IBS.
3.2 Complementary andAlternative Medicine (CAM) Include Prebiotics andProbiotics
CAM encompasses a broad range of curative and preventa­tive therapies, including herbal medicines, fundamental bio­logical therapy, physical adjustment counselling, and spirit
concept therapy. Over the last several decades, CAM has grown in popularity in Western nations’ IBS patients. This offers an alternative to conventional medical knowledge for individuals who have not been healed or who are reluctant to use Western medications. Complementary and alternative medicine include non-mainstream drugs that are used along­side standard medicine, while non-mainstream procedures are utilised in place of conventional therapies. Since it has a mild nature, positive therapeutic efcacy, and signicantly fewer associated complications than Western medications, CAM is progressively embraced and appreciated by patients

in opposition to traditional medical practices. Their failure to respond to traditional treatment with conventional medica­tion, recognised favourable safety characteristics, and their perceptions of their capacity to exert further impact contrib­ute to the high proportion of CAM usage among IBS patients [159169]. Patients of all ages often use sh oil, probiotics, nutrients, and herbal products as CAMs. Acupuncture is another technique that works with the mind and body [160,
165, 170173]. Individuals with IBS have varying microbi-
ota in their guts than individuals in good health. With a drop in the Firmicutes phylum, the number of bacteria in different Clostridium classes, like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, has declined signicantly. Escherichia coli, an Enterobacteriaceae species, and Proteobacteria, a phylum, have both been found to show a dramatic increase. This means that CD patients have more faeces and mucosa-associated microbiota [174
182]. Moreover, by in situ uorescence hybridisation, stool
specimens from UC patients lacked anti-inammatory Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus. However, these strains begin to multiply again after the restoration of UC [183, 184].
The human gut is home to 10–100 trillion benecial bac­teria that aid in the digestion and synthesis of essential vita­mins. However, stress, cleanliness, and antibiotic usage cause dysbiosis, making it challenging to maintain a better and healthier microora. Prebiotics are dened as “a sub­strate that is particularly utilised by host organisms confer­ring a health advantage” in the ISAPP consensus statement on the scope and denition of prebiotics. The term “probiot­ics” is derived from a Greek phrase that signies “for life” and is employed to characterise active, non-pathogenic microorganisms with their clinical efcacy on hosts through modulating immune system responses, boosting mucosal IgA secretion, and fending off infectious agents. In compari­son to synthetic medicines like Mesalazine, which are typi­cal treatments for UC, probiotics are also involved in the maintenance of remission. Probiotic bacillus forms such as
Lactobacillus caseistrains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. reuteri, bidobacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus-group, Bacillus coagulans, Enterococcus faecium SF68, the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii, and Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 are among them [182, 183, 185190]. To maintain the
protective effect, these probiotics reduced TNF-α activation, cytokine secretion, and stimulated IL10, a cytokine known to have therapeutic properties, is encouraged [191195] (Fig.3).
Individuals with mild or moderate UC were given salicy­lates, but E. coli Nissle 1917 had similar effectiveness and safety characteristics [196199]. The anti-inammatory impacts of mesalazine therapy alone are not as strong as those of adjuvant with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and mesalazine, where it signicantly expanded complete improvement in patients with UC. Moreover, adjuvant thera-

Fig. 3 Mechanisms involved in probiotic-induced protection against intestinal dysbiosis. Probiotics suppress pathogens through various actions, including lowering luminal pH, production of antimicrobial proteins, inhibition of adhesion and translocation of ora, competitive exclusion of pathogens, improvement of the epithelial barrier, enhance­ment of adhesion of commensal bacteria to the intestinal mucosa, and modulation of the gastrointestinal mucosal immune system
pies with Bidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria have been shown to slow the progression of the illness and maintain clinical remission in UC patients [196, 200]. Also, Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730 rectal enemas delivered as additional treatment to 5-ASA resulted in endoscopic and histological recovery as compared to the placebo group in neonates and adolescents with mild to severe UC [201]. Another commercially available and exceptionally concen­trated (450 billion bacteria/sachet) probiotics supplement, VSL#3 cocktail, has allegedly shown benets in sustaining response to therapy in active UC patients by downregulating interferon-γ, TNF-α expression, and MMP-2 and 9 which have comparable exacerbations as 5-ASA.This is supported by meta-analysis research data that indicate markedly higher therapeutic efcacy compared to conventional therapy alone [202207]. However the meta-analysis found that the effec­tiveness of VSL#3 and E. coli Nissle 1917 in keeping UC patients in remission was only moderate. This requires more validation in terms of research ndings before it can be uti­lised as a probiotic [196, 197]. Also, the same bacteria are present in the VSL#3 probiotic blend, but there is no scien­tic evidence to support its efcacy in treating IBS patients [196, 199] (see Table5).

Indigestible food items called prebiotics are known to favourably encourage the growth and activity of specic bacterial species in the intestine. The host organism’s well­being would be improved by this. The most often used pre­biotics are inulin, lactulose, oligosaccharides such as soya- oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, GOS, FOS, derivatives of β-glucans, and galactose [209212]. Prebiotics are digested as fermentation products by anaerobic gut microbes, SCFA, and gas inside the colon microenviron­ment. This lowers the colon pH, allowing Bidobacteria, Lactobacilli, and the proliferation of non-pathogenic E. coli

while suppressing Bacteroidaceae and other possibly harm­ful bacteria [213215]. Such microorganisms enhance gut barrier integrity and regulate mucosal and systemic immune function by modulating the pro-inammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-10, TNF-α, and IL-1β [216, 217]. Following the consumption of resistant starches (RS), particularly RS1 and RS2, both studies on animals and humans demonstrate higher SCFAs with selective enrichment of Bidobacterium. In individuals, RS seems to trigger primarily Ruminococcus
bromii colonisation and boost butyrogenic species Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Eubacterium rectale [212,
218221]. GBF, which is high in glutamine and hemicellu-
lose, improves DAI in patients with mild-to-moderate UC by enhancing the growth of protective microbes such as Bidobacterium and Eubacterium, in addition to the faecal butyrate level, whilst also signicantly reducing serum CRP, IL-6, and IL-8 levels, and lowering mast cells. Moreover, in TNBS-induced colitis and CD patients, FOS enhanced the benecial bacterial growth with a signicant increase in the butyrate level. In UC patients, oligo-fructose-enriched inu­lin reduced faecal calprotectin, implying a decline in inam­mation and endoscopic histology with an elevation in butyrate and microbiota changes [222235]. Nevertheless, prebiotics generate GI adverse effects such as nausea and stomach discomfort, leading to patient intolerance [215]. Table6 shows several probiotic organism investigations in clinical trials for IBS treatment.

Inammatory Bowel Disease (IBS) andRelated Disorders
Before discovering the modern medical system, herbal medi­cine with active constituents (natural products) and their extracts were used and recorded for treating inammatory bowel disease (IBS). The imbalance between pro­inammatory and anti-inammatory responses may be a fundamental cause of chronic inammation later on acco­lated with inammatory bowel disease [245]. The burden of IBS is relatively high in Asian continents and the Western world, affecting the patient’s quality of life and health-care system [246]. However, conventional therapies for IBS patients are available in the market, like salicylates, steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-TNF-α drugs [247, 248] newly approved biologicals treatments to trigger immune responses (e.g. anti-IL-6, anti-IL-12/23, anti-IL13, and inte­grins) [249, 250] But the long-term side effects such as quiescent illness, poor tolerability, high rate of noncompli­ance, perceived ineffectiveness, and variable response rates of these conventional therapies [251] were always a primary concern and have augmented the interest in complementary and herbal medicines for their safe and acceptable treatments.
Several recent reports suggested that herbal medicine is becoming more popular among IBS patients. To maintain healthy homeostasis and chronic inammation, there is crosstalk between diet, gut microbiota, colonocytes, and immune cells [245]. Over 50% of IBS patients have used natural products, including herbs and their formulations, vitamins, probiotics, prebiotics, nano-based formulations, emulsion-based formulations, and dietary bres [252]. These herbal formulations tend to downregulate various aberrant
signalling pathways and modulate various inammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, PGE-2, iNOS, COX-2, and IL-8. A bre-rich diet is crucial for both pre­venting and treating constipation. If these preventative mea­sures are ineffective and nutritional supplements are insufcient, patients must consider the usage of laxatives. Anthraquinone laxatives (senna, cascara, etc.) are preferred because they are easily tolerated and have a mild action in cases of constipation brought on by atonia of the colon, acute constipation, and in chronic constipation. Anthraquinone laxatives are incredibly helpful medicines when adminis­tered properly. Thus, the use of herbal medicine is an immensely vast eld in IBS and constipation [253, 254].
So, in this book chapter, we have mainly focused on herbal medicine and its formulation, showing some evidence of efcacy and safety in preclinical and clinical settings with the proposed mechanisms of action. We performed a litera­ture search in PubMed, including the terms “IBS”, “colitis”, “natural products”, “phytochemical”, “herbal”, “nanocarri­ers”, “probiotics”, “gut microbiota”, “dietary”, “immune”, “macromolecule”, “colon”, “constipation”, and “inamma­tion” which resulted in around 900 references.
Different herbal medicines or derivatives have been used for IBS and related disorders in the Ayurvedic medical sys­tem. Categorially, these medicinal plants contain diverse sec­ondary metabolites with complex functionality, such as alkaloids [71], avonoids, phytosterols, steroids [255], ter­penoids, tannin, glycosides, xanthone, polyphenolic acids, and coumarins [256] as core pharmacophores which are responsible for the treatment of IBS [257]. These herbs have various active mechanisms of action such as the downregula­tion of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) [258], mitogen­activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) [259], prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB), nod-like recep-

4.1 Nanotechnology inInammatory Bowel Diseases andRelated Disorders
In the past decades (Fig. 4, Table 8), conventional drugs, phytoconstituents, and herbal formulations have been critical mediators fortuitously and mediated a range of signalling
pathways and proteins for treating IBS and related disorders [315]. However, lack of oral bioavability, cell specicity, and rapid rst pass metabolism leads to nd efcient way to overcome reported drawbacks. So, with advances in science, the development of phyto-derived nanoisation and microni­sation of these herbal medicine has covered a wide range and
