What Are Probiotics? Probiotic Supplements, Foods, Uses, Benefits

Managing IBD and ulcerative colitis

If you eat this one food every day, you can improve your gut health (hint: It’s broccoli). In the study on the veggie, researchers found it to help maintain healthy bacteria, which reduces inflammation in the lining of the gut. This may help improve some chronic conditions such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and other inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), according to research. According to Sanders, some probiotics can reduce intestinal inflammation by tamping down the activity of substances that produce inflammation, and increasing the activity of substances that reduce inflammation.
