The small food poisoning to the chronic inflammation intestinal deadly, there is not just one step, but there is a real link. According to a study published by the Sanford Burnham’s Prebys Medical Disvorery Institute in the journal Science, the recurrent infections can indeed cause a colitis (inflammatory disease of the intestine or in the colon) that can be life-threatening.
However, food poisoning initials may not require treatment and heal alone. A priori, nothing serious.

A disease is “progressive” and “irreversible”

“We observed the appearance of an inflammatory disease, a progressive and irreversible caused by the recurrence of previous infections, which was quite surprising, ( … ),” comments and Won Ho Yang, one of the authors of the study.
Progressive, and for good reason. The study lasted almost eight years. The researchers have developed a model of food-poisoning human-type mice on a healthy.
Each mouse received a dose of bacteria of the type Salmonella, responsible for salmonellosis, one of the major infectious diseases of dietary origin. The dose of salmonella was very low. No symptom, no danger of death. However, inflammation has emerged and has increased in all mice over the repetition of the poisoning. All, without exception.
The researchers were also able to see that even stopping cause these infections, the inflammation did not disappear. The damage was done. The inflammatory disease of the colon and the intestine was launched.

More infections than you think

Where researchers are concerned, is that they estimate the number of this type of mild infections with salmonella is a lot more important than it seems.
Very often of no great consequence, and resolved in a day or two, food poisoning, salmonella does balance not have to be a visit to the doctor.
Very many cases are never diagnosed. And some people multiply the infections, without realizing the consequences on their colon, or intestine.

This discovery is disturbing but, major, could help shed light on other inflammations, such as chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestine (IBD), Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Their origins are still unknown.
