Abstract: Compositions contain 6?-sialyllactose (6? SL) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), for use in the reduction of nociception in an infant or in a young child. The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with infantile colic, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or recurrent abdominal pain (RAP), and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep and the general quality of life of the infants and young children.

Abstract: The present invention relates to composition comprising 2?-FL for use in promoting accelerated butyrate production in the gut thereby preventing and/or treating a health disorder, and/or promoting a health benefit in young children consuming the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of a B. longum transitional microorganism that has a preferential utilization of 3-FL over 2?FL. It also relates to methods and to a composition comprising the B. longum transitional microorganism and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining the gut microbiota status of a subject given one or more microbial ratios provided from the subject's gut microbiota data. The present invention also provides methods for maintaining or improving the gut microbiota status of a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising 2?-Fucosyllactose (2?-FL), for use in the reduction of nociception in an infant or in a young child by increasing Kynurenic acid production by the microbiota of an infant or a young child consuming the nutritional composition in the form of a growing up milk. The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with infantile colic, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or recurrent abdominal pain (RAP), and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep and the general quality of life of the infants and young children.

The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with infantile colic, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or recurrent abdominal pain (RAP), and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep and the general quality of life of the infants and young children.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nutritional compositions comprising 6?-sialyllactose (6?SL) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) for use in improving the gastrointestinal barrier. In particular, the present invention relates to improving gut barrier function in an infant, a young child or children aged above 3 years to 8 years.

Abstract: A composition contains at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide, for use in preventing and/or treating a URT infection in an infant or young child fulfilling at least one of the following criteria: i) the infant or young child is born from a non-secretor mother and/or is fed with a mother's milk deficient in at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide, ii) the infant or young child has at least one sibling, and iii) the infant or young child was born by C-section.

Abstract: A method for reducing nociceptive sensitivity in non-infant humans includes in some examples selecting a non-infant human experiencing a condition and associated nociceptive sensitivity (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome or chronic neuropathic pain). In such examples, the method further includes selecting an effective amount of one or more human milk oligosaccharides (“HMOs”) chosen from the group consisting of 6?-sialyllactose (6?-SL), and a mixture of 6?-SL and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and reducing the nociceptive sensitivity by administering the selected effective amount of the chosen HMOs to the non-infant human during an initial phase. In some examples, the method includes activating GPR35 receptors by administering the effective amount of the chosen one or more HMOs. In some examples, the HMOs are a mixture of 6?-SL and LNT that provides a synergistic effect relative to each of the 6?-SL and LNT alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising 6?-sialyllactose (6?SL) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), for use in the reduction of nociception in an infant or in a young child. The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with infantile colic, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or recurrent abdominal pain (RAP), and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep and the general quality of life of the infants and young children.

Abstract: The application relates to synthetic compositions and methods for preventing or reducing nociception and/or nociceptive sensitivity in a non-infant human. The human is administered a composition comprising 6?-sialyllactose (6?-SL) and/or lacto-N-tetraose (LNT).

Abstract: The present invention relates to nutritional compositions comprising 2?-Fucosyllactose (2?FL) for use in improving the gastrointestinal barrier. In particular, the present invention relates to improving gastrointestinal barrier in an infant, a young child or children aged above 3 years to 8 years.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising at least two human milk oligosaccharides, for use to decrease the concentration of detrimental proteolytic metabolites (e.g. branched short chain fatty acids) in the digestive tract in an infant or a young child.

Abstract: A composition and associated packs and methods for (i) promoting gastrointestinal barrier healing in the upper intestinal tract and/or small intestine of a non-infant human suffering from chronic intestinal barrier inflammation, and/or (ii) maintaining remission in the upper intestinal tract and small intestine of a non-infant human suffering from chronic intestinal barrier inflammation. The composition contains an effective amount of a combination of 6?-sialyllactose (6?-SL) and lacto-N-tetraose (LNT).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising at least three human milk oligosaccharides, for use to increase butyrate production in the digestive tract in an infant or a young child. The production increases with the HMOs blend complexity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide and at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide in particular amounts, for use in preventing and/or treating infections and/or inflammations of the lower respiratory tract and/or of the ear in an infant or a young child.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide for use in an infant or a young child for reducing and/or preventing later in life excessive fat mass accumulation and/or a health disorder related to excessive fat mass accumulation, wherein said fucosylated oligosaccharide has at least one fucose group attached by an alpha 1,3 linkage, at least one fucose group attached by an alpha 1,4 linkage, or combinations thereof. The invention also relates to nutritional composition for use to promote healthy growth.
