1 Where does inflammation in the gut come from?
Viruses: It is estimated that viruses are responsible for around 70 percent of acute inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Rotaviruses, adenoviruses, Norwalk viruses, echoviruses and coxsackieviruses in particular can cause intestinal inflammation.
Other microorganisms: In addition to viruses, bacteria or a yeast fungus in the intestinecan also be responsible for the inflammation. The Candida albicans fungus is particularly worth mentioning here. It is part of the natural intestinal flora. However, if the immune system is impaired , it can multiply to such an extent that inflammation occurs.
Other causes: Intolerable foods, allergic reactions or hormonal causes can also trigger inflammation in the gut. In rare cases, parasites are behind intestinal inflammation.
2 How does intestinal inflammation manifest itself?
-Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Flatulence

As a general rule, if the symptoms of intestinal inflammation have not improved on their own after three days or if the diarrhea is bloody, a doctor should be consulted. Medical advice is also recommended in the event of severe abdominal cramps or fever.

Risk factors include cigarette consumption, infections with certain bacterial strains, a poor diet or psychologicalstress1. Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases are treated by doctors with medication. Immunosuppressants in particular are used to suppress the autoimmune inflammatory reaction.
5 What to do with an inflamed bowel?
Rest: If you feel tired and run down, you should allow yourself bed rest and avoid stress or physical exertion.
Drink plenty of fluids: If you have diarrhea or vomiting, it is important to drink plenty of fluids. In the case of severe diarrhea, an electrolyte preparation may be useful.
Tea: Unsweetened chamomile tea can help to calm the stomach. Black tea contains tannins, which can have a balancing effect on the intestines.
Nutrient supply: Make sure you eat a balanced and light diet with plenty of nutrients. A dietary supplement can ensure that the diarrhea does not cause a deficiency.
Foods: Rusks and bananas have a constipating effect. Grated apple contains the fiber pectin, which can thicken the stool somewhat. Unsweetened oatmeal is also ideal for diarrhea.

Tip: Prevent intestinal inflammation with probiotics
In addition to a healthy and balanced diet, you can support and strengthen the intestinal flora with probiotic bacterial strains. This makes it much harder for inflammation in the gut to take hold. You can find several of these probiotics in our Feelgood Shop.
The capsule product PROBIOTIC DUOCAP contains the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus acidophilus, both of which primarily colonize the small intestine. The product also contains bifidobacteria for the large intestine and vitamin D3 to support the immune system. A so-called prebiotic, which stimulates the multiplication of probiotic bacteria in the intestine, is also included. The special feature of the product is the ingenious capsule-in-capsule technology, which makes it possible to release the ingredients with a time delay. This means that the bacterial strains arrive exactly where they are needed and can optimally develop their effect in the intestine.
The PROBIOLIFE Probiotika capsules are also highly recommended, containing calcium and ficin in addition to 13 bacterial strains capable of reproduction. Calcium supports the functioning of digestive enzymes, while the enzyme ficin, which is extracted from the fig fruit, promotes the microbial balance of the intestinal flora.
If you would prefer something to chew or suck instead of capsules, try our probiotic fruit gummies. The PROBIOTIK gummies from BeLive with 5 billion highly effective probiotics of the Bacillus coagulans type combine three flavors in one can (orange, strawberry and blueberry). If you would also like a prebiotic, the SYNBIOTIK gummies - also from BeLive - are the perfect choice. All the products mentioned are great for improving the build-up of intestinal flora - and healthy intestinal flora is the best way to fight intestinal inflammation.
