Curcumin improves IBS-C symptoms
We set out to explore the effects of curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, on constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). This condition affects a significant portion of the global population, making it essential to investigate potential treatments.

In our assessment, we compared the effectiveness of curcumin to mosapride, a known treatment, by observing changes in gut microbiota and neurotransmitter levels in rat models of IBS-C. Through analysis, we found that the rats receiving curcumin experienced improved bowel movements, characterized by increased fecal weight and water content compared to those with IBS.

Furthermore, our investigations revealed that curcumin treatment led to a reduction in certain neurotransmitters in the serum of the rats. This suggests that curcumin may not only help regulate gut health but also impact the signals that influence bowel function.

Overall, these findings indicate that curcumin could be a promising natural option for managing IBS-C by modifying gut microbiota and balancing neurotransmitter levels.

Curcumin aids constipation relief
We investigated the effects of curcumin, a well-known extract from turmeric, on constipation associated with intestinal inflammation. Using a rat model, we created conditions for both constipation and diarrhea through specific treatments.

Our research revealed that curcumin has significant anti-inflammatory properties, reversing elevated levels of certain inflammatory markers in the blood, which can worsen motility issues. In rats experiencing constipation, curcumin particularly helped to lower the inflammatory mediators like TNF-α and IL-1β, suggesting an improvement in gut health.

We observed that curcumin not only reduced overall inflammation but also positively influenced the associated motility disorders. By dampening the overactivation of myosin light chain phosphorylation associated with intestinal smooth muscle, curcumin seemed to alleviate the discomfort linked to constipation.

Overall, our study suggests that curcumin could be a promising natural treatment for managing constipation and related intestinal conditions, potentially offering a therapeutic option for those dealing with these issues.

Turmeric jelly improves IBS-C symptoms
We explored the effects of a dry jelly concentrate containing turmeric (curcumin) on patients suffering from constipation related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). In this study, fifty participants fitting the IBS-C criteria were divided into two groups. One group consumed the jelly drinks alongside a standard diet for two weeks, while the other group followed only the standard diet.

The findings were quite promising for those who consumed the jelly. We observed significant improvements in various symptoms related to constipation, including an increase in bowel movement frequency and an enhancement in stool quality based on the Bristol stool scale. Additionally, participants reported a decrease in abdominal pain and bloating, along with an overall improvement in their quality of life.

Importantly, the jelly's beneficial effects were attributed to its active ingredients like inulin and curcumin. However, it’s crucial to note that the jelly was not tested in isolation; therefore, while turmeric appeared to play a role, we cannot definitively conclude its effects alone. Nevertheless, our results suggest that incorporating this functional food could positively impact the management of constipation in IBS patients.

Curcumin works similarly to ibuprofen, relieving symptoms of constipation, gastrointestinal pain, and effectively helping with colds. It also aids joint pain and acts as a natural tonic.
