Inside wonder jab that may save thousands of IBD sufferers from pain and loo dashes
27.03.2022 - 10:27 / ok.co.uk
If you’re one of the unlucky 15% of Brits who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you’ll be all too familiar with the symptoms. It’s a condition that disrupts the body’s digestive system. But, for some, there’s a strong chance that their symptoms are a red flag for another, more serious health issue – ulcerative colitis (UC).
Both manifest in a similar way, a key shared indicator being diarrhoea. But UC, which is classed as an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), has more severe symptoms including the potential permanent damage to your intestines which can lead to invasive surgery further down the line. It also increases your risk of colon cancer.
In a nutshell, it can massively impact quality of life, with chronic stomach pain, and multiple toilet dashes a day, sometimes accompanied by blood in the stools. Various meds can ease symptoms, but until now, there has been no cure for the 146,00 estimated UK sufferers. However there’s good news on the horizon.
A new medical trial has discovered that injections of a drug called mirikizumab are highly effective in treating UC. “People with ulcerative colitis have mucosal inflammation in the colon, which is what causes the rectal bleeding, frequent trips to the bathroom and the urgent need to have a bowel movement,” explains Geert D’Haens, lead author of the study, and a Professor of Gastroenterology. “Mirikizumab has the potential to significantly reduce inflammation, help people achieve remission and reduce bowel urgency.” The drug was originally created to help psoriasis, another inflammatory condition that affects the skin.
