Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are idiopathic chronic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract that can lead to life-threatening complications. Although their treatments can be conveniently managed nowadays, a considerable portion of patients still complains about the adverse effects, lack of efficacy, and/or high costs of drugs and surgeries. In the pursuit of finding safer, cheaper, but still effective options, researchers have been conducting experimental studies, mostly in the last 6 years, on the potential of cereal grains and vegetables against IBDs. These crops, which are probably the most consumed types of plant-associated products among populations worldwide, have been reported as relevant sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds, especially proteins, fibers, and polyphenols, with promising antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and antidysbiotic effects on colitis. All things considered, this chapter aims to present and discuss the implications of various cereal grains and vegetables on IBDs, taking as reference preclinical and clinical experiments.
