We analyzed various medical treatments for solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS), focusing on fiber-rich diets among other options. After reviewing trials and studies, we observed that patients treated with a high-fiber diet, along with other medical interventions, generally reported improvements and achieved ulcer remission.
While most treatments were effective, we didn’t find the fiber treatment to be a standout option compared to others. Nevertheless, the overall findings highlight the importance of medical intervention for managing SRUS effectively.

We assessed how including silage in the diets of fattening pigs impacts their health, specifically looking at gastric ulcers and skin lesions. In our study, 128 pigs were divided into groups and fed either traditional feed or mixed diets containing silage.
While we didn’t find significant improvements in skin lesions, we observed that pigs receiving silage had noticeably fewer gastric lesions and ulcers compared to those on standard diets. This suggests that adding silage can be beneficial for gut health in pigs.

TTT boosts ulcer healing efficiency
We explored how tibial transverse transport (TTT) can speed up healing in chronic foot ulcers through its effects on certain cells and pathways. In our study, we observed rabbits with induced foot ulcers undergoing unilateral and bilateral TTT surgeries.
Results showed that TTT not only decreased healing time but also increased critical healing factors like collagen and microvascular markers. The treatment amplified the levels of VEGFA and CXCL12, which help mobilize endothelial progenitor cells, thereby enhancing blood vessel formation and aiding in the overall healing process.
These findings suggest that TTT is an effective method for accelerating ulcer recovery.

Ulcer healing success

After discovering erosions and an ulcer in my husband's duodenum, the doctor recommended slippery elm. Within two weeks of combining it with other supplements, a follow-up gastroscopy showed no signs of erosion, demonstrating its healing properties effectively. I highly recommend slippery elm for digestive health.

Mouth ulcers have completely healed. Regardless of how many hours I sleep, I feel energised and no longer suffer from ulcers. After taking this supplement, I wake up earlier and feel fantastic. If you tire easily, I highly recommend trying it!

Effective for ulcers

The doctor happily confirmed my diagnosis of ulcer after 20 years of symptoms. I've tried various medications without success until I discovered slippery elm. It provides relief, especially when taken separately from other medications. This affordable option has outperformed my previous treatments, and I hope it helps others too.

Silver-hyaluronan dressing aids healing
We examined a new type of wound dressing made from silver and hyaluronan that shows promise for treating chronic ulcers. By combining these components, we created fabrics with strong antibacterial properties against bacteria like E. coli and found no harmful effects on human skin cells.
In tests with rats, those treated with our fabric healed faster compared to traditional options. Ultimately, our research indicates that this advanced dressing could enhance recovery for various wounds, offering hopeful applications in medical treatment and tissue engineering.

We investigated how dietary fiber impacts the formation of small intestinal ulcers caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in dogs. By varying the fiber content in their diets and examining the resulting gastrointestinal lesions after treatment with NSAIDs, we noticed some interesting patterns.
Dogs on a very low fiber diet showed no lesions, while those on a regular diet had many. Interestingly, moving to low-fiber options led to reduced lesions, suggesting that lower fiber intake may help decrease gastrointestinal side effects from NSAIDs.

Slippery elm has shown significant benefits for my ulcer and intestinal issues. It acts as a natural fibre with strong regulatory properties, helping both constipation and diarrhoea. After four days of use, I began to notice its positive effects. Remember to stay hydrated and take it separately from meals.

Slippery elm soothes the stomach and intestines by forming a protective mucus barrier. It has helped me a lot with inflammatory bowel conditions and supports ulcer healing. Just ensure to take it separately from other medications. I’ve experienced positive results while using slippery elm in conjunction with L-glutamine.
