A Common Supplement Used in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease of the intestines. IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are characterized by a complex interplay of environmental, genetic, and immunological variables. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is caused by the interplay of a person's immune system with precipitating environmental variables, which in people with a genetic predisposition causes an abnormally persistent inflammatory response. The pattern and severity of dietary deficits linked to IBD vary on the level, duration, and activity of the inflammation. However, there is little evidence that dietary changes can modify the course of IBD, and there are no evidence-based dietary recommendations for IBD patients. As a result, patients look to non-medical sources for nutritional advice, such as patient support groups and unreliable websites. The purpose of this review is to discover patient-specific dietary recommendations for IBD and to evaluate their nutritional value. We examine patient-specific dietary data for IBD from popular defined diets and structured internet searches. Dietary advice for specific patients focuses on.
