Prune juice not necessary: New research should make bowel movements easier
If you hate prune juice and chalky fiber supplements, just sit down and relax. Help is on the way. view more (2009-04-09)
Study makes progress in zoning in on biomarkers for better colon cancer treatment
New research has yielded a clearer picture of which biomarkers could help doctors more precisely target the treatment of colon cancer, bringing closer the day when patients who will not benefit from chemotherapy are spared it, while those that will, get the more aggressive treatment they need. view more (2007-09-27)
Prevention is the best option: fighting autoimmune diseases
Centenary scientist Associate Professor Barbara Fazekas de St. Groth, a leader in inflammatory bowel disease research, has demonstrated for the first time the important role of T cells in the prevention of autoimmune diseases in humans. view more (2006-07-07)
Early onset gene for inflammatory bowel diseases identified
A study of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in children has identified a gene that influences whether children get these diseases early in life, and points to a potential new target for treatment. view more (2008-09-03)
Alcohol increases rectal cancer risk, but risk is smaller among regular wine drinkers
Regular drinkers significantly increase their risk of rectal cancer, but that risk is reduced if wine makes up a third or more of weekly consumption, suggests research in Gut. The findings are based on a population study of over 29,000 Danish men and women aged between 23 and 95. Their weekly intake of beer, wine, and spirits was assessed, as were... view more...

Wheat bran can double the benefits of a high fibre diet in cancer prevention
The research team studied the intestinal and fecal contents of 24 pigs, because their digestive systems most closely resemble ours. The pigs were fed typical Western style diets, high in refined fats and sugars, and then either had their food supplemented with resistant starchsuch as that found in grains, corn, and potatoor wheat bran, or both. view more (1999-11-15)
Impact of somatization on health resource usage in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) use over 50 percent more health resources than people without the disorder. view more (2005-09-28)
Researchers identify molecular basis of inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, severely impair the lives of more than four million people worldwide. The development of effective therapies against these diseases requires an understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms. Researchers from the Universities of Cologne and Mainz in Germany, the... view more... (2007-03-15)
Bowel prep oral sodium phosphate equal to fasting before capsule endoscopy for obscure GI bleeding
According to a new study from researchers in France, bowel preparation with oral sodium phosphate for capsule endoscopy in patients with obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is no better at cleansing the small bowel than the standard method of preparation, which is an eight-hour fast before the procedure. view more (2008-06-18)
Biofeedback treats one type of chronic constipation
Chronic constipation affects 15 to 20 percent of the U.S. population. Nearly one-third of affected people have dyssynergic defecation, in which muscles used for bowel movements do not work well, but there's some good news. view more (2007-04-03)
Water method for unsedated colonoscopy; interval between prep and colonoscopy predicts prep quality
In recognition of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month during March, GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has put out a special issue on colonoscopy for colorectal neoplasia. Studies of note regarding colonoscopy appear in both the monthly March issue and the special issue. view more (2009-03-02)
Do patients with inflammatory bowel disease receive optimal care?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic recurrent gastrointestinal disease. The disease has a relatively higher morbidity in young adults, in whom growth, education, employment and wellbeing all are adversely influenced. view more (2008-02-25)
NO COMMON CAUSE LINKING INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND COLORECTAL CANCER (pp 246, 262)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET does not support the theory that there may be a single genetic cause for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer. The causes of IBD and colorectal cancer (which occurs more often in people with IBD) are unknown. Some researchers have suggested that IBD and colorectal cancer might... view more... (2001-01-24)
Gut Ecology in Transplant Patients
Small-bowel transplant patients with an ileostomy -- an opening into their small bowel -- have a very different population of bacteria living in their gut than patients whose ileostomy has been closed, researchers from UC Davis and Georgetown University Medical Center have found. view more (2009-09-16)
May inflammatory bowel disease mimic gynecological disorders in its clinical presentation
Endometriosis is a condition of unknown etiology in which endometrial tissue occurs at extra-uterine sites, including ovaries, fallopian tubes, and gastrointestinal tract. view more (2008-02-25)

Search reveals molecules that block Stat 3
Finding molecules that block the activity of the oncogene Stat3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription) required screening literally millions of compounds, using computers that compared the structure of the cancer-causing gene to those of the small molecules, said a Baylor College of Medicine researcher in a report that appears in the... view more...

Immune genes adapt to parasites
Thank parasites for making some of our immune proteins into the inflammatory defenders they are today. view more (2009-05-26)
Revolutionary approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Ghent scientists at VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) are developing what could be a revolutionary new approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): dairy bacteria that produce a natural anti-inflammatory therapeutic substance in the intestine. The results of this research are being published this... view more... (2000-08-31)
Getting better with a little help from our 'micro' friends
A naturally occurring molecule made by symbiotic gut bacteria may offer a new type of treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, according to scientists at the California Institute of Technology. view more (2008-05-29)
