Mucus Lining

A diet that lacks enough dietary fibre directly affects the gut microbiota, which further deteriorates the protective mucus lining in the colon, the study reads.

Stomach ulcers usually occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects the stomach from digestive juices is reduced. This leads to digestive acids to eat away at the tissues that line the stomach, causing an ulcer.

Sometimes mistaken for cystic fibrosis, PCD affects the hairlike structures called cilia that line the airways, reproductive tract and other organs. When cilia, which move like waves, are damaged, they are unable to effectively remove mucus and bacteria from the airways.

Sinusitis is an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. Healthy sinuses are filled with air. But when they become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grow and cause an infection. It is a common condition affecting 10-20 % of the population. Many steps can be taken to prevent a bout of sinusitis.
