color: #333333;\">At LCC Hospital, we understand that IBD is a complex autoimmune condition deeply rooted in a dysregulated immune response, profound gut microbiome imbalances, chronic inflammation, and often environmental triggers.<br \/>\nThe immune system mistakenly attacks beneficial gut bacteria or even its own intestinal tissue, leading to persistent, damaging inflammation.<br \/>\nThe true root causes that contribute to IBD onset and flare-ups often include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Profound Gut Dysbiosis &#038; Leaky Gut<\/strong>: A severely compromised intestinal barrier allows undigested food particles, bacterial toxins, and pathogens to enter the bloodstream, constantly triggering an overwhelming systemic inflammatory and autoimmune response in the gut.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;
