Many microorganisms play a role in gut health; they include bacteria, fungi, and viruses that exist in dynamic equilibrium to maintain mucosal homeostasis. Disturbances in the gut microbiota disrupt mucosal homeostasis and are strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans and colitis in mice. Therefore, preventing or correcting microbiome imbalance can be considered as a new prevention or treatment strategy for IBD.

Digestive disorders, bloating, heartburn, nausea, constipation or diarrhea that occur frequently will affect your life. Making changes to your diet and lifestyle helps keep your digestive system healthy.

Ulcerative colitis is a long-term chronic disease caused by inflammation and ulcers in the colon. Currently, patients with colitis are treated with drugs or surgery, but there is no definitive cure. Stronger relapses can occur even after treatment. Some people turn to probiotics and prebiotics in the hope of improving the condition.

Antibiotics are powerful defenses against bacterial infections. However, they can sometimes cause side effects, such as diarrhea and liver damage. Some foods can reduce these side effects, while others can make them worse.
