Ulcerative Colitis Associated with Cardiometabolic Disease and Complicated with Autoimmune Pancreatitis.

Diet-related cardiometabolic diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, common previously in Western countries, are global problems. We hypothesized that inflammatory bowel disease is a lifestyle disease primarily mediated by the current Western diet. We report here the simultaneous onset of ulcerative colitis and autoimmune pancreatitis, a rare systemic complication of inflammatory bowel disease, 2 months after acute myocardial infarction in a patient with type 2 diabetes.

Plant-based diet for pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease: case series.

Background: We assert that the ubiquitous environmental factor in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is our westernized diet. Therefore, all of our newly diagnosed patients were admitted to experience a plant-based diet (PBD). In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of a PBD in pregnant women with IBD.

Therapeutic advancement in inflammatory bowel disease by incorporating plant-based diet.

Identification and recognition of the ubiquitous environmental factor are prerequisite for treatment and prevention of the disease. The biggest problem with current practice in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the lack of a widely appreciated ubiquitous environmental factor for the disease. The incidence of IBD is associated with dietary transition from a traditional diet to the current (westernized) diet.

Incorporation of Plant-Based Diet Surpasses Current Standards in Therapeutic Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

There has been no study of the therapeutic effect of a plant-based diet (PBD) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) except for our studies in Japan. In this review, we describe the rationale for the requirement of PBD in IBD and the outcomes of our modality incorporating PBD together with a literature review. The biggest problem in current therapy for IBD is the lack of a widely appreciated ubiquitous environmental factor in IBD.

Relapse-Free Course in Nearly Half of Crohn's Disease Patients With Infliximab and Plant-Based Diet as First-Line Therapy: A Single-Group Trial.

Introduction Incorporation of a plant-based diet was effective in both induction and short-term relapse prevention in Crohn's disease. Ten-year long-term relapse-free rates in Crohn's disease are around 10% to 23%. Objective We investigated whether infliximab and plant-based diet as first-line therapy enhance the long-term relapse-free rate in patients with Crohn's disease.

Stepwise Treatment With Plant-Based Diet and Medication for Patient With Mild Ulcerative Colitis.

Introduction: We regard inflammatory bowel disease as a lifestyle disease mainly mediated by a westernized diet. We developed a plant-based diet (PBD) to counter the westernized diet. PBD can induce remission without medication in a subset of mild cases of ulcerative colitis.

Increased Incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Association with Dietary Transition (Westernization) in Japan.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease has become a global disease, but its key environmental factors still remain unrecognized. This study aimed to clarify the role of dietary transition (westernization) in the increased incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in Japan.

Methods: Annual numbers of new cases of inflammatory bowel disease in Japan over the period from 1965 to 2000 found in a nationwide database compiled by the government and the daily amount of food and nutrient intake per capita for the same period revealed by the National Nutrition Survey have been used to analyze their interrelation.

High Remission Rate with Infliximab and Plant-Based Diet as First-Line (IPF) Therapy for Severe Ulcerative Colitis: Single-Group Trial.

Introduction: About one-third of patients with severe ulcerative colitis (UC) do not respond to corticosteroid therapy and receive rescue therapy with infliximab or cyclosporine. Up to 20% of such patients fail to respond to rescue therapy and undergo colectomy.

Objective: We investigated the outcomes of infliximab and a plant-based diet (PBD) as first-line therapy for severe UC.

Ulcerative colitis in the postpartum period.

We describe a scarcely reported case in which ulcerative colitis (UC) occurred in the postpartum period. The aims of this case report are to reinforce the recent assertion that a diet is a ubiquitous environmental factor in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and that a plant-based diet (PBD) is recommended for IBD. A 29-year-old woman normally delivered her first child.

Onset of Ulcerative Colitis in a Patient with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Dramatic Effect of Plant-based Diet for NAFLD.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease. However, there is scarce reporting on the onset of UC in patients with NAFLD. A 44-year-old man was diagnosed with UC and referred to us in 2019.

Relapse Prevention by Plant-Based Diet Incorporated into Induction Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis: A Single-Group Trial.

Context: No known previous study has focused on plant-based diet (PBD) to prevent relapse of ulcerative colitis (UC) except our previous educational hospitalization study.

Objective: To describe the relapse rate in a large case series of UC after incorporation of PBD into induction therapy.

Design: All patients with UC between 2003 and 2017 were admitted for induction therapy.

Westernized Diet is the Most Ubiquitous Environmental Factor in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a collective term for Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, is a polygenic disease thought to be triggered by environmental factors. A Western or westernized lifestyle may be a major driver of the growing incidence of IBD. IBD may represent dysregulated mucosal inflammation to gut microbiota.

Relapse Prevention in Ulcerative Colitis by Plant-Based Diet Through Educational Hospitalization: A Single-Group Trial.

Context: No known published study has focused on a plant-based diet (PBD) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).

Objective: To investigate relapse prevention in UC after consumption of a PBD during educational hospitalization in Japan.

Design: Prospective study of patients with mild UC or UC in remission who did not need immediate treatment.

Induction with Infliximab and a Plant-Based Diet as First-Line (IPF) Therapy for Crohn Disease: A Single-Group Trial.

Background: Approximately 30% of patients with Crohn disease (CD) are unresponsive to biologics. No previous study has focused on a plant-based diet in an induction phase of CD treatment.

Objective: To investigate the remission rate of infliximab combined with a plant-based diet as first-line (IPF) therapy for CD.
