Track 16: Gut Health and Digestion– 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

 Attend the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition & Gut Health Conference and Exhibition

December 17–19, 2026 | Dubai, UAE

Introduction                              

Gut health has emerged as one of the most important pillars of modern medicine, influencing not only digestion but also immunity, metabolism, and overall well-being. The gastrointestinal system plays a central role in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and maintaining a balanced microbiome that supports optimal bodily function. When this delicate system is disrupted, it can lead to a wide range of digestive and systemic disorders that significantly impact quality of life.

As scientific understanding of the gut microbiome continues to expand, healthcare professionals are increasingly recognizing the importance of targeted nutritional strategies, probiotic interventions, and personalized approaches to digestive care.

Track 16: Gut Health and Digestion: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition, Track 16: Gut Health and Digestion will bring together global experts, clinicians, and researchers to explore the latest discoveries, clinical applications, and innovative therapies shaping the future of digestive health. This track provides a comprehensive platform to discuss evidence-based solutions that are transforming how we understand and manage gut-related conditions.

What is Gut Health and Digestion?

Gut health refers to the proper functioning and balance of the gastrointestinal (GI) system, including the stomach, intestines, digestive enzymes, and the trillions of microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiota. Digestion is the biological process through which food is broken down into nutrients that the body absorbs for energy, growth, and repair.

A healthy digestive system ensures efficient nutrient absorption, strong immune defense, balanced metabolism, and protection against harmful pathogens. When this balance is disturbed  often called dysbiosis   it may lead to digestive discomfort and chronic health issues.

Description

Gut health and digestion involve multiple coordinated processes:

  • Mechanical digestion (chewing and stomach churning)
  • Chemical digestion (enzymes and acids breaking down food)
  • Nutrient absorption in the small intestine
  • Water absorption and waste elimination in the large intestine
  • Microbial fermentation and production of beneficial metabolites

The gut microbiome plays a key role in producing short-chain fatty acids, regulating inflammation, supporting immunity, and maintaining the intestinal barrier.

Types of Digestive Conditions

Gut health issues can be broadly categorized into:

1. Functional Disorders

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Functional dyspepsia
  • Chronic constipation

2. Inflammatory Conditions

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
  • Gastritis
  • Colitis

3. Structural Disorders

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Peptic ulcers
  • Hemorrhoids

4. Microbiome Imbalance (Dysbiosis)

  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhea
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Effects of Poor Gut Health

When digestion is impaired or the microbiome becomes imbalanced, it may lead to:

  • Bloating, gas, abdominal pain
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Weakened immune response
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Fatigue and metabolic imbalance
  • Mood and cognitive disturbances through the gut-brain axis

Long-term digestive dysfunction can also increase the risk of metabolic disorders and autoimmune conditions.

Professions Involved

Management of gut health requires a multidisciplinary approach, including:

  • Gastroenterologists
  • Nutritionists and Dietitians
  • Clinical Microbiologists
  • Functional Medicine Practitioners
  • Researchers in microbiome science
  • Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical experts

Events like the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition provide an international platform where these professionals collaborate to share research, clinical experiences, and innovative therapies.

Solving Gut Health Issues

Improving gut health involves evidence-based strategies such as:

  • Probiotic and prebiotic supplementation
  • Balanced, fiber-rich nutrition
  • Personalized dietary plans
  • Stress management
  • Regular physical activity
  • Reducing unnecessary antibiotic use
  • Targeted medical treatment for underlying conditions

Emerging research also focuses on microbiome testing and precision nutrition to deliver individualized care.

Conclusion

Gut health and digestion are central to overall human health. A balanced digestive system not only ensures proper nutrient absorption but also supports immunity, metabolism, and mental well-being.

Track 16: Gut Health and Digestion: at the 16th World Probiotics, Nutrition, Gut Health Conference and Exhibition play a crucial role in advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of digestive healthcare. By integrating research with clinical practice, we move closer to more personalized, preventive, and effective digestive health solutions.
