im just curious if anyone else has experienced this and what have you taken to control the flare ups. mines is currently flared up and im struggling to control it. been taking asacol, probiotics, aloe vera gel caps, charco caps, and digestive enzymes. any info would be appreciated. its really draining during the day and especially during the workouts. damn constant cramping and shitting sucks. wouldn't wish it on anyone.....well maybe my worst enemy lol please no typical "getbigger" smartass responses
DWGE is a gluten and gliadin free prebiotc containing mixture of biologically active materials including benzo-quinones ( the 2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone (2,6DMBQ), oligosaccharides derived from wheat germ and oligopeptides. The wheat (Triticum vulgaris) is one of the largest known natural sources of these compounds), oligosaccharides helps to stimulate the growth and/or activity of bacteria in the digestive system with a beneficial effect in the digestive process. After the harmful proteins of gluten, gliadin, fructans and toxins are eliminated , the wheat germ extract concentration allows the immunomodulatory effects of the substituted benzo-quinones to be obtained without the consumption of impractically large amounts of wheat germ.
Oligosaccharides can have many functions; for example, they are commonly found on the plasma membrane of animal cells where they play a role in cell–cell recognition. DWGE aids in many metabolic processes of the body including weight maintenance, immune system stabilization, stress and oxidative factors, and more efficient food to energy conversion. Common Wheat Germ is estimated to have a beneficial food to energy conversion rate of 7% but the DWGE converse rate is estimated to be 78%. The vitamin E, vitamin B1, carotene and niacin content of the product are 2-3 times higher than normal wheat germ. DWGE has also been shown to play a major role in the regulation of Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin E ( IgE), Immunoglobulin G (IgG), and Th1 and Th2 cells levels.
Oligosaccharides also aid in the digestion of macronutrients . This property has gained recent interest from the nutritional community because the human digestive system has a difficult time breaking down many carbohydrates. It is estimated that up to 90% of ingested carbohydrates escape digestion in the small intestine and reach the colon. Here, DWGE performs a different function, it acts as a prebiotic and prevent the cells to take up the escaped sugar . Prebiotic is a fairly recently coined term referring to food components that support the growth of certain kinds of beneficial bacteria in the colon (large intestine). We’re learning now that a whole other digestive system is happening in the colon, with important influences on the rest of the body.
Our understanding of the role of Prebiotics is based on scientists’ rapidly expanding knowledge of how the micro biome–the large population of microbes, their genomes and the interactions between them within the GI tract–can significantly impact human health. Prebiotics are non-digestible ingredients that serve as nutrients for beneficial GI bacteria. Unlike probiotics, which attempt to add certain living microbes to the GI tract, prebiotics work primarily by providing the nutrition that these beneficial microbes need to grow and thrive. Since the huge number of microbes in the GI tract can overwhelm the relatively small amounts of bacteria contained in probiotic supplements, many researchers believe that prebiotics may have a more significant and lasting impact on health.
DWGE is a selectively ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal micro flora that confers benefits upon host well-being and health. In addition DWGE contains short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). New research has preliminarily demonstrated that SCFAs provide many benefits, both locally in the colon, and in the rest of the body. DWGE also aids in the production of various butyrate (salts of butyric acid), which recently received attention as possibly colon tissues damage protector, including ulcerative colitis.
Additionally, there is some evidence that DWGE may promote further absorption of some minerals that have escaped the small intestine, including calcium and magnesium.
The following benefits may can be expected from using DWGE:
• May increases the immune system’s ability to identify harmful cells for destruction
• It may help to regulate glucose metabolism at the cellular level, starving enemy cells that require excessive glucose
• It may help to regulate and modulate the immune system’s white blood cells for peak performance -- T cells, B cells, macrophages and NK cells
• It may help to maintain healthy cell-mediated and humoral (Th1/Th2) immune balance
• It may help to regulate IgA, IgE, IgG levels
• Supports cell metabolic regulation
• Promotes immune system modulation
• It may enhance the ability of T-cells to respond to antigen presentation
• Helps to activate digestive enzymes
• Helps to lower cholesterol
• Helps to lower triglycerides
• Helps to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
• Helps to detoxify the colon
