Let this sit for 20 mins to get the flavours in the salad, then mix together with the quinoa 🫶🏾

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is subcategorized into Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

The causes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are sill unknown but there are often underlying factors that tie in and people may have one or more of these tied into their specific case like genetics, medications, auto-immune issues, viral/bacterial infections, a disrupted gut microbiome and more.

Other medications may also be connected to cause for worsen IBD symptoms like: anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen, oral contraceptives, acne medication accutane.

Fungal/yeast infections can also prevent healing of the inflamed tissue in Colitis and have been implicated as a potential causative factor in IBD.

High intake of omega-6 fatty acids, high intake of sugar and factory processed meat with a low intake of fibre caused an increase in IBD.

Approximately 1.4-1.6 million Americans suffer from IBD with an equal number of occurrences between Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis.

IBD can be described as recurrent episodes of inflammation within the gastrointestinal GI tract, which then can lead into permanent damage of the intestines and severe complications over time.
