Disease: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Unveiling roles of beneficial gut bacteria and optimal diets for health

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria are tiny living organisms that help digest food, support your immune system, and influence your overall health. Eating foods rich in fiber, fermented products like yogurt and kimchi, and colorful fruits and vegetables helps grow these beneficial bacteria. When your gut bacteria become unbalanced, it can lead to inflammation and various diseases, but eating the right foods can restore balance and improve your health.

A Review of the Role of Paraprobiotics in the Formulation of High-Protein Ice Cream as an Advanced Functional Food

mycolabadmin

Paraprobiotics are inactivated bacterial cells that offer the same health benefits as live probiotics but are much more stable and don’t require refrigeration. When added to high-protein ice cream, paraprobiotics help boost immune function and gut health while improving the product’s texture and shelf-life. This makes paraprobiotic-enriched ice cream an ideal functional dessert for athletes, people with dietary restrictions, and anyone seeking healthier frozen food options.

Dietary melanoidins as emerging functional components: interactions with gut microbiota and implications for nutritional modulation of intestinal health

mycolabadmin

Melanoidins are natural brown compounds formed when foods are cooked or fermented, found in items like roasted coffee, bread, and soy sauce. When eaten, these compounds pass through the stomach and small intestine unchanged, then are broken down by beneficial bacteria in the colon. This breakdown produces helpful substances that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent digestive diseases like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

Role of Candida species in pathogenesis, immune regulation, and prognostic tools for managing ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

mycolabadmin

This article explores how fungi, particularly Candida species, contribute to inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The fungal microbiota becomes imbalanced in IBD patients, triggering harmful immune responses and worsening inflammation. The researchers propose that measuring specific Candida levels could help doctors diagnose disease severity and predict treatment response, opening new possibilities for personalized IBD management.

Bachu Mushroom Polysaccharide Alleviates Colonic Injury by Modulating the Gut Microbiota

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied a polysaccharide extracted from Bachu mushrooms, a traditional medicinal fungus used in China, to treat inflammatory bowel disease in mice. The polysaccharide reduced inflammation by decreasing harmful inflammatory proteins and increasing beneficial bacteria in the gut. Treatment significantly improved disease symptoms and protected the colon from damage caused by chemical-induced colitis, suggesting this mushroom extract could potentially be developed into a natural treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.
