The only thing I heard about honey w. respect to
gastroenterology, is the 'suspected' relationship
between ingestion of honey by infants under 1 year
of age, and SIDS( sudden infant death syndrome,
or 'wiegedood'); The word was 'infant botulism',
back in the seventies. Some sources deny this
relationship, others don't , but still the baby's
intestinsal tract seems to offer a good microclimate
for certain( anaerobic) bacteria.  Perhaps an interesting
footnote to your report ?
 
beste groeten, Hugo
