The increase in maltodextrin in the American diet 95 and a mucosal microbiome enriched for maltodextrin metabolism 96 in CD and patients with ileal CD, but not patients with colonic CD and non-IBD controls, is therefore noteworthy
In CD, its pro-inflammatory LPS suppresses the bile acid transporter ASBT via TLR4 and MAPKc-Jun/c-Fos signaling, impairing bile acid reabsorption and exacerbating Clostridioides difficile infection (Yang et al., 2025)
