Ginger and turmeric in Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is an IBD that can affect the entire digestive tract. Diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, malnutrition. Transmural inflammation is the central mechanism.

Clinical studies

• Curcumin + 5-ASA — RCTs show significantly improved maintenance of remission
• NF-κB inhibition — the central inflammatory pathway of IBD
• TNF-α reduction — same target as biologicals (Remicade)
• Darmbarrière — strengthens tight junctions (intestinal permeability)
• Microbiome — promotes beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium)
• Malabsorption — ginger improves nutrient absorption

Precautions

In active pushing, start with small quantities. Ginger can be too stimulating for a very inflamed gut. Introduce gradually.

Sugar is the enemy of Crohn's

Sugar worsens dysbiosis and intestinal inflammation. Zero sugar is ESSENTIAL in IBD.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Gentle on the inflamed intestine.
