Ulcerative colitis<\/strong> is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the large intestine and rectum. It is characterized by inflammation and ulcerations (sores) on the mucosa of the large intestine. The disease typically has phases of exacerbation (active disease) and phases of remission. It is classified as a serious digestive system disorder because, if uncontrolled, it can lead to serious complications (such as severe bleeding, bowel perforation, or even the need for surgical removal of part of the intestine). <\/p>

            The cause of ulcerative colitis is not precisely known, but it is believed to involve an immunological imbalance<\/strong>: the immune system abnormally reacts to normal intestinal bacteria and causes mucosal inflammation. Genetic factors and environmental factors (e.g., diet, stress) also have an influence. The basic characteristic is continuous chronic inflammation<\/strong> that affects the inner layer of the large intestine and rectum. This inflammation leads to the formation of ulcers and bleeding. During the inflammatory process, inflammatory mediators and free radicals are released, which means that oxidative stress<\/strong> is present and worsens tissue damage. Patients with active ulcerative colitis often have elevated levels of inflammatory markers and anemia due to blood loss. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            Diet in ulcerative colitis is delicate \u2013 during acute phases, mild, easily digestible food is often recommended, while during remission it is important to consume sufficient nutrients for recovery. Spelt<\/strong> can be beneficial, but carefully and in the appropriate form. Whole spelt contains considerable fiber which is normally excellent for the intestines, but in active colitis, too much fiber can irritate the already inflamed mucosa. This is where freeze-dried spelt juice<\/strong> (green juice in tablets) comes into play, which allows the intake of all nutrients from spelt without the rough plant material. <\/p>

            This juice is rich in vitamin A<\/strong> and zinc which promote regeneration of the intestinal mucosa and healing of ulcerations. Chlorophyll<\/strong> from the green juice has a soothing effect on the intestinal flora and helps faster wound healing, thanks to its antibacterial and regenerative properties.<\/p>

            Anti-inflammatory effects<\/strong> of vitamins and selenium from spelt can reduce the activity of the inflammatory process, and antioxidants protect the cells of the large intestine from further damage. Spelt also provides iron<\/strong> and folic acid<\/strong> (vitamin B9), which is important for correcting anemia caused by blood loss. All of this makes spelt beneficial for patients with ulcerative colitis, with individual adjustment and consultation with a physician. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
