Why have three out of ten Colombians had digestive disorders? This is the alarming reason
Digestive discomfort has stopped being an occasional problem and has become a growing public health concern in Colombia.
TL;DR
- Approximately 30% of Colombians have experienced gastrointestinal discomfort due to modern lifestyle habits like stress, sedentarism, and poor diet.
- Over 225,800 cases of digestive diseases were reported in Colombia in 2024, with digestive organ tumors being leading causes of death.
- Globally, constipation affects 14% of adults and up to 30% of those over 60, with women being more impacted.
- Common diagnoses in Colombia include constipation, functional diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome, indicating gut microbiota imbalances.
- Fibribion, a functional food developed in Colombia, contains Bifidobacterium longum (probiotic) and FIBERSOL®-2 (resistant maltodextrin) to support gastrointestinal health.
- The components of Fibribion aim to restore intestinal balance, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and provide slow, controlled feeding for beneficial bacteria without causing inflammation.
- Studies support the metabolic benefits of resistant maltodextrin, including improved bowel regularity, reduced glucose and insulin spikes, and increased satiety.
- Fibribion is suitable for individuals with constipation, prediabetes, insulin resistance, post-bariatric surgery patients, and those under high stress.
