Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee caffeine, In Attenuated Risk of Ulcerative Colitis?

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease the symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Epidemiological studies do not agreed that intake of coffee and coffee caffeine regularly may have a profound effect in attenuated risk of ulcerative colitis.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract.

In the reviewed study of a total of 442 patients 73% regularly consume coffee. 96% of patients attributing a positive and 91% of patients attributing no impact of coffee intake on IBD regularly drink coffee and surprisingly even 49% of those patients that assign a negative impact on disease symptoms, researchers at the University Hospital Zurich found that most patient with IBD showed a coffee drinking habit and addressed that coffee has helped modifying symptoms of the disease.

Other in the total of 81 UC patients recruited at all stages of the disease process, after completion of a 7 d diet diary, Caffeine and decaffeinated coffee showed a clinical significance in reduced risk of UC and may be considered a functional food included in potentially therapeutic diet.

Dr. Magee EA, the lead author said, " ......decaffeinated coffee was associated with a better clinical state than the caffeine containing version".

Contrastively, the investigation of a population-based, case-control study of the risk of ulcerative colitis associated with coffee and alcohol use among the 304,000 members of a prepaid health plan, coffee expressed no association with either amount of coffee consumed daily, or cumulative coffee consumption before disease onset and altered the risk of developing ulcerative colitis.

Taking altogether, the findings showed an inclusive result of the efficacy of coffee and coffee caffeine consumption in reduced risk of ulcerative colitis. Therefore more cohost with large sample size studies are necessary before coffee can be confirmed as a functional food for use in reduced onset and treatment of ulcerative colitis.
