Disclosed are nutritional compositions including 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) in combination with lutein and RRR-alpha-tocopherol. The nutritional compositions are useful for improving at least one of gut function, health, and development in an individual. In certain embodiments, the nutritional compositions can improve growth or maturation of the gut, as well as promote a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract thereby treating and/or preventing formula intolerance or other gastrointestinal diseases and/or disorders resulting from suboptimal gastrointestinal flora population/balance. Se describen composiciones nutricionales que incluyen 2'-fucosil-lactosa (2'-FL) en combinación con luteína y RRR-alfa-tocoferol. Las composiciones nutricionales son útiles para mejorar al menos una de las funciones intestinales, la salud y el desarrollo en un individuo. En ciertas modalidades, las composiciones nutricionales pueden mejorar el crecimiento o la maduración del intestino, así como promover un equilibrio saludable de bacterias beneficiosas en el tracto gastrointestinal tratando y/o previniendo así la intolerancia a la fórmula u otras enfermedades y/o trastornos gastrointestinales resultantes de la población/equilibrio de la flora gastrointestinal subóptima.
