“Super Spud” STOPS Cramping & Diarrhea

By Jack Taylor Posted September 5, 2019

For some folks, occasional tummy trouble is nothing to sweat over… but if you’ve got an inflammatory bowel disease like colitis or Crohn’s, urgent bathroom breaks and debilitating cramps can easily TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE! 

Instead of spending time with your family, you’re attached to the toilet… or bedridden with overwhelming pain and fatigue… 

Lonely, embarrassed, and frustrated at your situation. 

But you don’t have to live that way ANYMORE… 

Because South Korean scientists have just unearthed a starchy and exotic East Asian spud that SHUTS DOWN the harmful processes behind your worst symptoms of IBD… 

So your tummy troubles NEVER hold you back. 

I’ll dig into the details in a moment… 

But before I do, there are a few things you should know. 

See, “inflammatory bowel disease” is actually a catch-all term for gut conditions – including colitis and Crohn’s – that result from your immune system mistakenly ATTACKING your intestinal lining, causing inflammation and leading to pain, digestive issues, and other symptoms. 

We typically think of it as an immune system malfunction… but when it comes to identifying what causes that malfunction, most docs are still in the dark… 

And it gets worst. 

Because from there, inflammation only INCREASES your risk of developing colon cancer! 

Fortunately, researchers have just found that the bark from Chinese yams (Dioscorea batatas) can help manage – even BLOCK– that damaging inflammation, lowering your cancer risk and kicking IBD symptoms to the curb. 

In the study, a two-pronged approach published in the Journal of Medicinal, researchers tested yam bark extract on both human colon cells and a population of mice suffering from colitis. 

To conduct the mouse model, the animals were injected with a chemical solution designed to mimic effects of the disease — weight loss, diarrhea, and abnormal bleeding— and then treated with varying dosages of yam bark extract over 12 days. 

And by the end, researchers saw that the extract not only REDUCED colon tissue damage… but actually INHIBITED the production of inflammation-causing immune cells! 

Plus, those findings are backed up by the in vitro part of the study, leading researchers to hypothesize that yam bark extract may lower responses from nuclear factor-kappa B, a substance that helps CREATE inflammation. 

They also found evidence that yam bark extract can help manage oxidative stress, which has also been tied to inflammation throughout the body. 

And while you’re not likely to find whole Chinese yams at your local grocery store, you’d have better luck at a nearby Asian market. Cook them up the way you would any other potato – skin or bark included – or look to get their nutrients in supplement or tea form. 

Just be careful. If you’re battling cancer, undergoing hormone replacement therapy, or have a hormone-sensitive condition, talk to you doctor about starting up. While these spuds don’t contain estrogen, they have properties that may behave similarly.
