Episode notes
How Colitis Develops
- Ulcerative colitis is gut inflammation driven by immune overactivation that often begins in the rectum and can spread through the colon.
- Dysbiosis, leaky gut, and mucous membrane damage act as upstream triggers that enable this autoimmune cascade.
Western Living Raises IBD Risk
- Western lifestyle and the hygiene hypothesis likely increase IBD risk by reducing microbial exposures that train the immune system.
- Excessive hygiene may have tipped the balance, contributing to higher autoimmune rates in developed countries.
Limit Processed Foods, Antibiotics, And NSAIDs
- Reduce processed foods and emulsifiers because they can damage the mucous membrane and promote leaky gut.
- Avoid unnecessary antibiotics and frequent NSAID use as they increase IBD risk and gut injury.
