IBD patients were less likely to have diets that regularly include vegetables, cereals, breads, and diary.
Treating inflammatory bowel disease in mice with engineered probiotic
Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report they have developed an engineered yeast that can induce multiple effects for treating IBD.
Posttraumatic stress symptoms afflict patients with IBD
urvey results supported prior research that found one-quarter to one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases report posttraumatic stress symptoms linked to their disease experience.
Engineered organism could diagnose Crohn’s disease flareups
Bioengineers create pH-sensing gut bacteria to diagnose inflammatory bowel disease.
A gut feeling
Scientists link genetic makeup of bacteria in the human gut to several human diseases.
Diet–microbiota interactions in inflammatory bowel disease
Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays pivotal roles in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis and IBD pathogenesis.

What is the effect of vascular function in the pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)?
Patients’ experiences and challenges in living with inflammatory bowel disease
The purpose of this study was to explore patient experiences in living with IBD and uncover factors that contribute to psychological distress.
The arthritis connection to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): why has it taken so long to understand it?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated arthritis is a subgroup of spondyloarthritis (SpA) that has suffered from lack of recognition in rheumatology clinical and research circles for over 100 years.
Sarcopenia and vitamin D deficiency in patients with Crohn’s disease: Pathological conditions that should be linked together
Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), representing an independent predictor factor for the development of major postoperative complications.
Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus shows promise for treating inflammatory bowel disease and other intestinal inflammation disorders
Probiotic strain LA1 has a therapeutic effect that both prevents and treats intestinal inflammatory disorders caused by “leaky gut,” report researchers in The American Journal of Pathology.
