The Preventive Effect of Introducing Glutamine on Chemotherapy‐Induced Diarrhea in Colorectal Cancer and Its Influence on Inflammatory Factors Such as CRP and IL‐6

To assess the protective effects of live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus, enterococcus, and glutamine on diarrhea associated with chemotherapy and inflammatory markers in colorectal cancer patients (CCP). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with colorectal cancer who received chemotherapy at the People's Hospital of Pailin County, Chongqing from December 2022 to December 2024. There were 59 cases in the control group and 59 cases in the study group. The control group received treatment with triple live bifidobacterium, while the study group received combined treatment with glutamine in addition to the treatment of the control group. We compared levels of inflammatory markers, intestinal barrier functions, immune responses, and diarrhea incidence during chemotherapy. No significant pre-chemotherapy differences were noted in inflammatory or intestinal barrier markers (P > 0.05). Throughout the course of treatment, we observed a reduction in inflammatory markers in both groups (P < 0.05), with the experimental group showing more significant declines. Intestinal barrier functions degraded over time in both groups, with more significant reductions in the study group (P < 0.05). The therapy combining significantly mitigates inflammation, bolsters intestinal and immune functions, and alleviates diarrhea in CCP. Clinical Registration: The authors have nothing to report.
