Too much sugar is really bad news for Colitis. There are several reasons for this –
- Excess sugar can cause fermentation in the gut, especially when you have Colitis and your intestinal bacteria are already out of balance. Excessive sugar will feed the bad bacteria in you and allow them to become more prevalent. You will notice this as excess flatulence to begin with gradually becoming fouler smelling, until finally Colitis symptoms will increase and before you know it a Flare Up has begun.
- Damage caused in the body by high sugar levels is known as glycosylation and damages proteins in ways that can cause them to behave in the wrong way, which leads to the body’s immune system identifying them as enemies and attacking. Proteins damaged in this way are known as Advanced Glycation End Products, and the more of them there are inside you the more likely your immune system is to attack them thus causing inflammation and Colitis. It is not just normal sugar – sucrose that you need to be careful with, fruit sugar – fructose in excessive amounts causes the same problems. Many fizzy drinks and sweets have fructose in them as well as normal sugars you would expect.
- Insulin Resistance, which is caused by excess sugar intake, also causes excessive inflammation in the body.
