> bile acids are bioactive bacterial metabolites which protect the cells which line the gastrointestinal tract (from mouth to anus).
> conditions such as IBD, chronic diarrhoea, pancreatitis and GORD are influenced by the integrity of the intestinal lining, and the movement of digestive enzymes, nutrients, electrolytes, and fluids.
> bile acids (created in the liver and stored in the gall bladder) help with the digestion of fats and support intestinal lining cells
.> bile acids are now being studied to help all of the conditions above which show alterations in bile acid activity.
> dietary manipulation, probiotics and fecal transfers have been shown to support bile acid production and function.
