Inflammatory bowel disease

Fish Oil has been found to have benefits in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1996 showed that an enteric-coated preparation of long chain Omega-3 fatty acids significantly reduced the rate of relapse in patients with Crohn's disease that was in remission.

In patients with ulcerative colitis, Fish Oil supplements have been found to reduce corticosteroid requirements, improve gastrointestinal histology and reduce disease activity index.
