The importance, necessity and precautions of probiotic supplementation for ulcerative colitis
1.0 The importance of supplementing probiotics for ulcerative colitis
The world's top academic journal "Nature Reviews Microbiology" published an article: intestinal probiotics play a pivotal role in human health: it controls 70% of the body's immunity, eliminates 80% of toxins, digests and absorbs 95% of nutrients, and is the connector of the entire metabolic system of the human body. Ulcerative colitis supplementation with certain specific probiotics has at least four major benefits:
1.1 Benefit 1: Helps relieve ulcerative colitis symptoms
Example 1: Huojun No. 1 star strain Lactobacillus reuteri JYLB-291, won the "improvement of ulcerative colitis" China invention patent number: ZL 2021 1 1566079.0, the patent details publicize that the invention patent is true and effective, for ulcerative colitis caused by fecal mucosal pus and blood, abdominal pain, increased stool frequency, loose stools, etc., the total effective rate can reach up to 95.7%, functional control test results:
Example 2: Huojun No. 1 star strain Lactobacillus casei L.Casei21, won the Chinese invention patent No. ZL 2021 1 0242478.5 for "therapeutic effect on diarrhea", for abdominal pain, diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, and lukewarm limbs caused by enteritis, the total effective rate is as high as 92% in 30 days, and the results of the controlled test are announced in the patent details:
1.2 Benefit 2: Bacteria are used to improve the structure of intestinal flora and restore the healthy balance of intestinal microecology.
Intestinal microbiome medical research has found that all enteritis begins with intestinal flora imbalance and ends with a healthy balance of intestinal microecology. The fundamental reason why healthy people do not have enteritis, or even if they suffer from enteritis, they will heal quickly is that the intestinal probiotics are strong, in an absolute advantage, and have a strong self-recovery balance, but many people ignore this.
1.3 Benefit 3: Reconstruct and repair the bacterial membrane barrier, protect the intestinal mucosa, and promote the self-repair of inflammatory ulcers.
Don't underestimate this bacterial membrane barrier, which is composed of beneficial bacteria, covering the surface of the intestinal mucosa, and playing a triple protective role of "chemical barrier, biological barrier, and immune barrier". If the bacterial membrane barrier disappears, the inflammatory ulcer surface of the intestinal mucosa is directly exposed to the intestine, which is subject to the phagocytosis of harmful microorganisms, the stimulation of toxins, the injury of chemical fertilizers and pesticide residues and food additives, and the friction of feces, which is not only not easy to heal, but also may suppurate, erosive, perforated, and even malignant.
1.4 Benefit 4: Enhance immunity and correct immune system disorders.
Many immune diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, irritable bowel syndrome, and allergic diarrhea, are closely related to the deterioration of the intestinal flora structure and the overflow of free radicals. The theory of free radicals holds that free radicals are the source of all diseases and are the culprits of autoimmune disorders, aging and tumor formation. Free radicals attack normal immune cells, which attack healthy cells, including the mucosal cells of the colon, causing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, certain probiotics or free radical nemesis.
Example 3: Huojun No. 1 star strain Bifidobacterium longum JBLC-141, which enhances the function of "eliminating excess free radicals in the body, preventing the loss of free radicals to body cells, and can also play a certain protective role in cell oxidative damage and alleviate body fatigue", won the Chinese invention patent number ZL 2021 1 0227019.X, which can be verified in the "Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office" The invention patent is true and valid.
2.0 The necessity of supplementation with probiotics for ulcerative colitis
Although the drug has the effect of inhibiting probiotics, as long as the time interval between the two is more than 2 hours, there is no conflict. The drug is equivalent to the aircraft cannon, and the probiotics are equivalent to the ground special forces, the two cooperate, first bombard the harmful microorganisms in the intestine with drugs, and then use probiotics to clean up the battlefield, remove residual enemy bacteria, and assume the role of protecting the intestinal mucosa, which is conducive to the comprehensive recovery of intestinal diseases and the prevention of recurrence, therefore, it is necessary to supplement probiotics for colitis!
Many doctors will prescribe "drug quasi-brand" probiotics to patients with ulcerative colitis, but due to hospital management regulations and interests, patients will not be recommended to take "food brand" probiotics. In fact, in recent years, the mainland probiotics technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, changing with each passing day, but the mainland probiotics declaration "national medicine quasi-word" costs nearly 8 million, after three phases of clinical verification, it takes five years to be approved, then its strain function, activity, content and other technical indicators, or lag behind some high-end food probiotics on the market, therefore, we can not because the "food brand" probiotics can not replace drugs, If the therapeutic efficacy cannot be promoted, it is considered that there is no need to supplement probiotics, and this practice of discarding food due to choking is often not conducive to the complete recovery of the disease.
3.0 Precautions for supplementing probiotics for ulcerative colitis
3.1 Five criteria for probiotics for ulcerative colitis
Not all probiotics are suitable for long-term supplementation of ulcerative colitis, it must meet five criteria: 1. Bacterial formula for ulcers, 2. Functional invention patent certificate with relevant certainty, such as: Huojun No. 1 patented strain Lactobacillus reuteri JYLB-291 to improve ulcerative colitis, Huojun No. 1 patented strain Lactobacillus casei L.Casei21 with therapeutic effect on diarrhea, Huojun No. 1 patented strain Bifidobacterium longum JBLC-141 to scavenge human free radicals, etc.; The results of the control test with relevant certainty are effective;4. Strong activity, high colonization rate, and treatment with live preservation technology;5. The true content of live bacteria is not less than 10 billion/g, which is not false.
3.2 Probiotics are not a substitute for medicines. In particular, ulcerative colitis is in the acute attack stage, and it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice, mainly to treat in the hospital, supplemented by probiotics. Even if it enters the stable period or recovery period, ulcerative colitis is also induced or aggravated by too many factors, such as: cold, spicy and irritating food, wine, seafood, smoked, grilled and fried food can lead to ulcer recurrence or aggravation of symptoms; mental stress and emotional instability will also lead to ulcer recurrence or aggravation of symptoms; lifestyle such as staying up late and sitting for a long time and fatigue will also lead to ulcer recurrence or aggravation.
3.3 Probiotics must be consumed at an interval of more than 2 hours with anti-inflammatory and bactericidal Western medicines, and at an interval of more than half an hour with traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, the anti-inflammatory and anti-biogenic components in the drug will inhibit the activity of the probiotics, thereby reducing the health effects of the probiotics.
3.4 Probiotics do not work as fast as drugs, it enters the intestine first to fight against harmful bacteria, after a period of competition, a period of stalemate, a period of reversal, and a period of dominance, in order to fully play a healthy role, especially the patent role of some patented probiotics. Therefore, it is recommended to take probiotics for more than 3 to 6 months, or even more than a year. We must not stop at the beginning, nor can we see that the good is harvested, and we must not give up halfway, and miss the rehabilitation opportunity to restore the healthy balance of the intestinal microecology from the root cause and give up the previous efforts.
3.5 In the competitive period: a very small number of people with serious intestinal disorders, when they first eat probiotics, they will be fiercely resisted by intestinal harmful bacteria, release a large number of toxins, stimulate the intestinal mucosa, and lead to the aggravation of "abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, gas, loose stools" It is essentially a healing reaction, it is the darkness before dawn, and there is no need to panic, and most people will go away in a few days to 2 weeks (in very severe cases, it will last up to 4 weeks).
3.6 Probiotics It is recommended to choose raw powder probiotics, for example, Huojun No. 1 raw powder probiotics, which is like Moutai puree wine, which is more noble than blended wine. As can be seen from the ingredients in the box, there are no other ingredients except for six probiotics and one prebiotic. There are many probiotic ingredients that contain lactose, milk powder, milk powder, corn flour, mannitol, silicon dioxide, inulin, white sugar, vanillin, flavor, ...... and other food excipients or additives, or induce ulcerative colitis allergic reactions. In addition, the raw powder probiotics are not diluted by food excipients or additives, and the real content of live bacteria is high, not false, and the effect is more accurate.
