MARTINEZ-MORENO, Alma Gabriela. Probiotics as a psychonutritional treatment for anorexia nervosa. A systematic review. Rev. Mex. de trastor. aliment [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.2, pp.202-214.  Epub 29-Jul-2024. ISSN 2007-1523.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fesi.20071523e.2022.2.736.

Anorexia nervosa is claimed to be synonymous with a dysregulated gut microbial community. The re appear to be notable differences in the composition of the microbiota of people with anorexia nervosa compared to healthy people. On the other hand, it is noted that probiotics modify the mi crobiota and improve mental well-being and intestinal symptoms, but currently the results of those studies that show the efficacy of probiotics in the psycho-nutritional therapy of anorexia nervosa have not been documented. A systematic review was carried out with the aim of identifying studies that provided probiotics to people with anorexia nervosa and analyzing their effects on treatment. The method included the procedures of Evidence-Based Medicine and the PRISMA statement (chec klist with domains that includes the elaboration document and flowchart) through the PICO format. Seven studies were found that demonstrate positive effects on body weight regain, mental and gut health, and anti-inflammatory response. The scarce information in this regard represents an area of opportunity to establish research protocols that investigate more about the effects of probiotics on the recovery of people with anorexia nervosa.
