Inflammatory bowel disease: outpatient treatment profile
ABSTRACT – Background – Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease. The incidence and prevalence of both conditions have increased and are progressively increasing. These diseases are frequently recurrent and clinically highly severe. In Brazil, the lack of epidemiological data related to such diseases has left these patients in a ...
Doença inflamatória intestinal: qual a relevância da doença no Brasil?
O termo doença inflamatória intestinal (DII) engloba doenças como a retocolite ulcerativa idiopática (RCUI) e a doença de Crohn (DC) que se caracterizam por serem recorrentes e imunologicamente mediadas cujo órgão alvo é o intestino e o evento principal é o processo inflamatório crônico.
Importance of nutrition in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) results from the interaction between an individual’s immune response and precipitant environmental factors, which generate an anomalous chronic inflammatory response in those who are genetically predisposed. Various feeding practices have been implicated in the origin of IBD based on epidemiological observations in developed countries, but we do ...
Nutritional approach as therapeutic manipulation in inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract
Malnutrition is observed more frequently in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in the general population and associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to review the current knowledge regarding the efficacy of dietary and nutritional intervention in IBD patients. Exclusive enteral nutrition might be inferior to cortic...
Micronutrient Absorption and Related Outcomes in People with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Review
Abstract: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder associated with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. While it is poorly understood, the role of nutrition and nutrient status in the etiology of IBD and its associated outcomes has led to increased research relating to micronutrient deficiency. This ...
The Role of Vitamin D in Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Assessing Therapeutic and Preventive Potential of Supplementation and Food Fortification
SUMMARY
Inflammatory bowel diseases are a group of chronic inflammatory conditions that affect gastrointestinal tract due to inapt and continuous immune activation in response to a myriad of predisposing factors (most notably genetics, environmental impact and gut microbiota composition). It has ...
Vitamin D and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency has been recognized as an environmental risk factor for Crohn’s disease since the early 80s. Initially, this finding was correlated with metabolic bone disease. Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels have been repeatedly reported in inflammatory bowel diseases together with a relationship between vitamin D status and disease activity. Subsequently, low serum vitamin D ...
Diet and nutritional factors in inflammatory bowel diseases
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) development is affected by complex interactions between environmental factors, changes in intestinal flora, various predisposing genetic properties and changes in the immune system. Dietary factors seem to play an underestimated role in the etiopathogenesis and course of the disease. However, research about food and IBD is conflicting. An ...
