Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of chronic disorders that cause long-term inflammation in the digestive tract. Many patients experience ongoing symptoms even with treatment. Current therapies mostly focus on controlling immune system responses, but these approaches often fall short. Some medications may even worsen long-term inflammation or disrupt natural gut healing. Because of this, researchers are exploring natural and supportive options—like bovine colostrum (BC)—that may offer new hope in managing IBD.
