Story at-a-glance
- Ginger has a long history of soothing digestive issues and modern research confirms its ability to reduce gut inflammation and support intestinal healing
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases the risk of serious health issues.IBDs like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue, increasing the risk of malnutrition, intestinal damage, and colorectal cancer if left untreated
- A recent study found that furanodienone (FDN) in ginger activates the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which reduces gut inflammation and oxidative stress. It also strengthens the intestinal barrier to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the bloodstream
- Early use of ginger compounds leads to better outcomes, with reduced symptom severity and faster recovery in gut inflammation, especially when started at the first signs of digestive issues
- Another study found that gingerols and shogaols suppress immune overactivity, lowering IL-1β and TNF-α while blocking key inflammatory pathways that worsen chronic gut conditions
