RED MEAT, ALCOHOL PROMOTE COLITIS
by James J. Kenney, PhD, RD/LN, FACN

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic and often painful inflammation
of the colon. The cause of this disease is unknown, but dietary
factors have long been suspected as playing some role in the
disease because it appears to be more common in modern societies,
which consume a lot of animal products and less fruits and
vegetables.

A study followed 183 people with colitis that was in remission
for one year.(1) During that year, a little more than half the
people suffered a relapse that was validated using a standard
disease index activity index. The researchers looked at the
relationship between dietary factors and whose ulcerative
colitis relapsed during the year.

The 25% of patients who consumed the most protein from poultry,
fish, eggs and meat were about three times more likely to suffer
a relapse of the disease than the 25% who consumed a diet lowest
in these foods. However, proteins from milk products were not
associated with a greater risk of relapse.

By contrast, the 25% who consumed the most red meat and
processed meats such as sausages, bologna and hot dogs were more
than 5 times as likely to suffer a relapse of colitis during the
year than the 25% who consumed the least red and processed meats.
Those who ate more fresh fruits and vegetables had a reduced
risk of relapse.

Red Meat, Alcohol Promote Colitis -- continued
_______________________________________________________

The authors of this study suspected the high sulfur content of
foods could be to blame. Animal proteins are high in sulfur.
Sulfites are used to preserve beer and wine. The researchers
noted men who consumed more than 2 drinks a day were about 3
times more likely to suffer a relapse of colitis than those who
did not drink.

Sulfur in foods can be used by gut bacteria to generate hydrogen
sulfide, a noxious and toxic gas that may very well damage the
lining of the large bowel and lead to inflammation. In some
people the inflammation becomes so severe they end with pain,
diarrhea and blood in their stools or ulcerative colitis.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
Patients with a history of ulcerative colitis should be discouraged
from eating a diet high in meat, eggs, sulfite.
