Dietary Trigger for IBD REVEALED
Cases of irritable bowel diseases (IBD)—like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease—have skyrocketed in recent years… especially in industrialized nations.
What is it about our modern society that increases the risk and severity of these inflammatory diseases?
Scientists still don’t know the cause, but in my opinion, you don’t need to look any further than the pantry. (You may also find the solution in there.)
In a recent study, scientists uncovered a dietary component that could be a KEY TRIGGER for IBD.
Inflammation in the digestive tract is at the root of IBD.
An overactive immune system can overreact to harmful bacteria in the gut, triggering inflammation.
Then, adding insult to injury, people with IBD also tend to have leaky guts. This occurs when the gut barrier becomes compromised, allowing food particles, bacteria, and more to enter your bloodstream.
This causes even MORE inflammation and can result in chronic conditions like IBD in susceptible individuals.
Any effective plan to prevent or treat IBD naturally MUST focus on gut health.
One simple way to do that is by boosting dietary fiber.
A mouse study found that fiber positively influences the relationship between gut microbes and the gut lining. It helps form a healthy mucous lining AND prevents inflammation.
Research reveals that in mice without interleukin-10 (an IBD-associated cytokine), a LACK of fiber plays a role in the deterioration of the protective mucous lining.
Fiber also feeds the good bacteria in your gut, promoting a healthier microbiome and reducing inflammation.
In other words, boosting fiber in the diet could protect against IBD by shielding gut barrier function and reducing inflammation.
But remember, gut health is critical for everyone, regardless of whether you’re battling IBD, and fiber is vital for overall gut health.
Some of the best high fiber foods include beans, lentils, broccoli, berries, avocados, apples, popcorn, and whole grains.
