Serum derived bovine immunoglobulin in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease
S
erum derived bovine immunoglobulin was introduced as a medical food in the U.S. in 2013. Since then it has been studied
in over 800 patients with a variety of gastrointestinal illnesses including diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS-D), ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, pouchitis,
C. difficile
colitis and chronic mesenteric ischemia. Its effectiveness
in these diverse disease entities is related to the ability of SBI to bind intraluminal pro-inflammatory mediators including
enterotoxins, pro-inflammatory cytokines and bacterial degradation products, thereby, preventing the loss of intercellular
tight junction proteins. By maintaining tight junction, integrity, dendritic antigenic stimulation in the mucosa is reduced,
resulting in inhibition of the inflammatory cascade. This presentation will review the US FDA category of medical foods,
the proposed mechanism of action SBI and published clinical data.
