Inflammatory bowel disease

The human digestive system is as powerful as it is complex.

These arebillions of bacteria and enzymes working together¹ between the stomach, small intestine and large intestine to dissolve, separate and assimilate ingested food.

When chronic dysfunctions occur, the consequences are often very disabling.

In this article, we focus on inflammatory diseases inflammatory diseases Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

We'll also look at how to protect yourself effectively against these diseases, and how to alleviate their symptoms when you have them.

What is Crohn's disease?

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestine that generally leads to abdominal painabdominal severe diarrheafatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can affect different areas of the body digestive tract depending on the individual. This inflammation often spreads to the deeper layers of the intestine.

Crohn's disease can be both painful and debilitating, and can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications.

Although there is no known cure for Crohn's disease, there are therapies that can reduce signs and symptoms of Crohn's symptoms and even lead to remission and long-term healing of inflammation².

Thanks to treatment, many people with Crohn's disease are able to function properly.

Causes of Crohn's disease

The exact causes of Crohn's disease have yet to be fully elucidated, but researchers believe the disease is due to a combination of factors.

These include hereditary genes and abnormal inflammation of the intestine in response to certain environmental conditions, such as infections.

A person is more likely to develop Crohn's disease if close family members have it³.

Crohn's disease can also affect other parts of the body, such as bones, tendons and even the eyes.

What is ulcerative colitis?

Hemorrhagic rectocolitis is a type of inflammatory disease of the intestine.

It causes irritation inflammation and ulcers in the wall of the large intestine (also known as the colon).

This is a autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system, which normally helps fight infection, mistakenly attacks the mucous membranes of the colon and rectum.

Hemorrhagic rectocolitis almost always affects the rectum. When it is confined to the rectum, the disease is called ulcerative proctitis.

In most people, the inflammation extends to a larger part of the colon, often the whole colon.

There are currently no no curative treatment and sufferers generally present intermittent symptoms for life.

Causes of ulcerative colitis

As with Crohn's disease, the causes of ulcerative colitis have yet to be fully identified.

Although environmental and genetic factors cannot be ruled out, a recent study by scientists at Stanford University has produced some particularly interesting results:

It seems that disturbances of microbiota microbiotaparticularly a lack of certain microbes in the digestive tract is linked to the onset of the disease⁴.

Natural treatments and prevention of inflammatory bowel disease

Although two distinct diseases with different symptoms and treatments, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have in common the fact that they "attack" the intestine.

As we all know, this organ's main task is to digest food and extract the nutrients we need to function properly.

In order to prevent symptoms, or if we wish to alleviate them, good dietary management and optimization of our intestinal microbiota can prove salutary.

Trigger foods to avoid

• alcohol
• lentils
• red meat
• fruit and juices
• salad dressing
• spices and seasonings
• fried, fatty and spicy foods
• wholemeal and multigrain breads
• artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners
• milk, yoghurt, cheese and other dairy products
• condiments, such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise
• coffee, tea, soda and other drinks containing caffeine
• certain vegetables, including cabbage, beans, broccoli and cauliflower

Balancing the digestive tract

Bacteria are our intestines' best friends.

It's thanks to these billions of little organisms that we can function optimally, digest our food and stay healthy.

It is therefore essential to ensure that this flora thrivesespecially when suffering from conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

For this, there's nothing like Clasporin. Thanks to its 15 billion bacterial strains, Clasporin rebalances the digestive system and normalizes intestinal flora and immune modulation.

It will help you maintain that all-important balance in your digestive tract. This will reduce existing inflammation and help prevent future problems too.
