Do you suffer from IBD? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young America medical minute. IBD, also known as irritable bowel disease, is caused by inflammation of the digestive tract and affects nearly 1.6 million people in the US. It’s an umbrella term used for a variety of different intestinal problems. IBD can cause diarrhea, bloody stool, reduced appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. A new study out University of Southern California found that a fasting-mimicking diet can help with IBD symptoms. The diet in the study lasted for four days and it included lowering caloric intake to 50% of what the person would normally eat on the first day and then down to 10% on days two through four. Talk to your doctor if you are struggling with symptoms of IBD.
