New research may lead to advances in treating colitis with probioticsA new study has found a possible treatment for colitis. Researchers say mice that were given the probiotic Bacillus polyfermenticus during the non-inflammatory stage of the disease showed reduced rectal bleeding, less inflamed tissue and gained more weight than the mice that did not receive it.

The study also found that the colon tissue of the treated mice had greater angiogenesis, a process that is necessary for wounds to heal.

Colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which the inner tissue of the colon becomes inflamed and damaged and can result in painful sores. It’s estimated that as many as 3.3 million Americans suffer from the disease.

Healthcare practitioners have recommended probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, as an alternative treatment for the disease. Researchers involved with this study say further studies are necessary before it is known whether these results can be applied to humans.

According to the Mayo Clinic, other alternative therapies believed to help treat colitis include prebiotics, acupuncture and nutritional supplements containing fish oil and aloe vera. Reducing stress and avoiding trigger foods are also believed to be beneficial solutions.ADNFCR-2035-ID-19489824-ADNFCR
