Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic digestive issue linked to gut microbiota balance, and inulin, a natural prebiotic, may help with its anti-inflammatory properties.
- The study used both a lab model and a mouse model to test inulin's effects on IBD, finding that it reduced harmful inflammation markers and improved gut health.
- Results indicated that inulin intake not only lessened IBD symptoms but also altered gut bacteria composition and reduced stress indicators in the intestines, suggesting it could be a beneficial dietary treatment for IBD.
