Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and can result from unhealthy lifestyles and poor dietary choices. It encompasses conditions like microscopic colitis, pouchitis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, each affecting different parts of the digestive system. Early detection and treatment with various medications, along with lifestyle changes such as a high-fiber diet and regular exercise, can effectively manage the disease.

2. Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD in short, is a
problem that occurs in the gastrointestinal tract,
causing the intestines to inflame. Treatments given to
patients with inflammatory bowel disease are likely to
counter the effects of this disease from getting out of
hand. We find out here, what kind of problems occurs in
the digestive tract, causing one to experience this
disease.

3. Inflammatory Bowel Disease can come about due to factors
like unhealthy lifestyles, and improper ingesting of foods that
aren't good for the system, ultimately hampering its
functionality. Here you'll find the four main diseases that
come about in the gastrointestinal tract, and where exactly
each one takes place.
 Microscopic Colitis: There are two kinds of microscopic
colitis, 'collagenous colitis', and 'lymphocytic colitis'. These
two problems aren't as damaging as ulcerative colitis and
Crohn's disease. The former problem, collagenous, takes
place when protein builds up in the colon lining, causing it to
inflame. The latter disease, that is lymphocytic, takes place in
cells present between the linings of the colon, where white
blood cells rapidly multiply within this space.

4.  Pouchitis: In order to treat ulcerative colitis, a small part of
the colon is removed, where the internal pouch that is placed
within patients, experiences an inflammation. In order for
waste to collect within the body not using an outside source
to do this, doctors place two pouches inside patients called
the 'Koch pouch' and the 'ileo-anal pouch' or 'J pouch' (ileal
pouch-anal anastomosis). With these self-created pouches
using the patient's intestine (small), waste is able to collect in
it, as opposed to an external way of doing this. The lining of
these two particular pouches can experience an inflammation.
 Crohn's Disease: The inflammation of the digestive tract is
what leads to this form of inflammatory bowel disease. It can
occur in any part of the body related to the digestive system.
It can appear in one's anal area or large intestine, and even in
the oral cavity for that matter.

5.  Ulcerative Colitis: An inflammation that takes place in the
large intestine, leads up to what is called ulcerative colitis.
The end of the colon which exits into the rectum is involved
in this disease, and if restricted only to the rectum, is called
'ulcerative proctitis'.

6. The symptoms of the four diseases mentioned above
showcase different signs that the body signals out to
the person experiencing bowel problems. It is important
to spot these immediately and seek medical attention
without losing any time.
 Diarrhoea is bloody. Sometimes diarrhoea can be
extremely watery without the evidence of blood
 Anaemia
 Cramping and pain in the abdomen region
 Perianal disease and fistulae problems take place
 Bowel movements are frequent
 Feverish

7.  Colonic strictures inflame
 Loss in weight
 Bowel region ruptures
 Appetite is considerably low
 Ulcers present in the digestive tract start to bleed

8. If caught on time, inflammatory bowel disease can be
detected and treated effectively. There are certain
medications that intervene during the inflammation
process, therefore they aid in reducing the effects of the
disease.
Anti TNF Agents
 Infliximab
Immune Modifier
 Azathioprine
 6-mercaptopurine

9. Antibiotics
 Thalidomide
 Ciprofloxacin
 Heparin
 Metronidazole
 Cyclosporine A
 Antidiarrhoeal agents
 Acid suppressants
Corticosteroids
 Dexamethasone
 Prednisone
 Methylprednisolone
 Budesonide

10. If the health tips are acted upon, you can help yourself during
this time, where the body needs you to take care of it, and
not further abuse it. Here's how you can help yourself, by
changing certain lifestyle habits.
 Eat foods high in fibre like fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole
grain breads, and so on
 Avoid aerated drinks and stay clear from gaseous foods like
lentils, onions, or broccoli
 Stop smoking while you go through an IBD, or your condition
will only get out of hand
 Exercise on a daily basis, and maintain your bodily
movements during this time
 Incorporate protein diet foods, like fish and meats

11.  Include multivitamins in your diet, and fish oil capsules
as well
 Eat small meals at different times of the day, to regulate
the functions of your bowel system continuously
Inflammatory bowel disease is not something one would
want to experience in their life. It is better to make sure
that what you put in your mouth is healthy and
nutritious, and not go on a junk binge that will only
come back to destroy the system.
