Acute Enteritis, in most cases is defined as a condition of
inflammation of the small intestine as a result of eating and drinking
contaminated water and foods infected by virus and bacteria. But
according to the study by the University Hospital Aintree, chronic
radiation enteritis
is an increasing problem, as more patients receive radiotherapy as part
of their cancer therapy and as the long-term survival of these patients
improves(a). Other study indicated that acute radiation enteritis
is almost inevitable in the curative treatment of malignant tumors of
the abdomen and pelvic area. It is frequently a self-limiting disorder
of intestinal function associated with reversible mucosal changes of the
intestine(b). The prevalence of the disease although is decreasing, it
still affects millions (approx 1 in 83 or 1.20% or 3.3 million people
in USA ) of people in the U.S alone, according to the statistic. Chronic enteritis is a condition of inflammation caused by other health conditions, such as Crohn's or celiac disease.
Diet ot prevent Enteritis
1. Probiotic
Oral administration of a probiotic preparation was shown to be effective
in preventing the recurrence of chronic pouchitis in a classic
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. According to the study by the
East Carolina University, Greenville, dysbiosis, a condition of
microbial imbalance, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of
inflammatory bowel disease. Rather than administering antibiotics to
treat the microflora with each relapse of pouchitis, the emphasis was
placed on preventing chronic flare-ups by administering probiotics to
correct dysbiosis. In addition, the choice of bacteria, optimal dose,
and timing of administration have yet to be determined. Finally, the
mechanisms by which probiotics provide their beneficial effects remain
unresolved(38).
2. Green tea
In the study to investigate the Green tea's repair fasting-induced mucosal damage in rat intestine, showed that use of green tea
was associated with a significant increase in total plasma antioxidants
(P < 0.001), and mucosal SOD (P < 0.001), catalase (P = 0.006)
and GPx (P = 0.017), but a significant decrease in MPO activity (P <
0.001). Green tea reverses the fasting-induced damage to the intestinal mucosa by its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect(39).
3. Origanum vulgaris and Allium sativum
According to the study to investigate the efficacy of Virbamix PE
(Virbac SA, France) an appetite enhancer and feed flavouring material
containing plant extracts of Origanum vulgaris and Allium sativum, added
to the feed at one single dose in the control of proliferative
enteropathy (PE) in weaning pigs, in comparison to reference treatment
with tiamulin (Tiamutine 6.5 Premix/Ceva Animal Health) group and a
negative control group indicated that administration of Virbamix PE was
found to be effective for the control of PE, as shown by the reduction
of prevalence of Lawsonia intracellularis in the intestine at the end of
the treatment period, as determined by PCR method comparatively with
the T1 group, while no significant difference was found between T2 and
T3 groups. The diarrhoea score (DS) was significantly higher (P <
0.05) in the control group in comparison with T2 and T3 groups. However,
no significant differences were noticed between T2 and T3 groups during
the treatment period (P > 0.05)(40).
