Parasite Cleanser and Diarrhea Relief
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a disorder that affects mostly middle-aged to older cats and it’s caused by an inflammatory reaction to an irritation in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the stomach and intestines.
Difference Between IBD and IBS?
Although diarrhea is a similar symptom in both of them, IBD refers to an inflammation in the gut caused by an autoimmune condition while Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) refers to colitis caused by stress.
In IBS, symptoms tend to fade once you remove the main cause of the stress, whereas IBD treatment requires nutritional therapy and medication.
Symptoms
This inflammatory process thickens the lining of the tract, which ends up compromising digestion, proper absorption of nutrients, and natural bowel movement. As a result, cats can develop many symptoms such as:
- Regular vomiting
- Chronic diarrhea
- Blood in the stools
- Lethargy
- Poor appetite/increased appetite
- Weight loss
There are different factors that can lead to this condition like imbalance in the immune system, allergies, bacteria, and parasites, however, in many cases, it’s not possible to determine the cause.
Diagnosis
Initial testing for IBD in cats can include blood work, fecal analysis, and imaging of the intestines, especially by ultrasound. These tests intend to rule out other conditions that have similar symptoms as those of IBD like food sensitivity, hepatic diseases, kidney issues, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), diabetes, parasitic and bacterial infections, and hyperthyroidism, for example.
The most accurate way to define a diagnosis of IBD is very invasive. It involves surgery or endoscopy in order to get a small sample of tissue from the intestines or stomach.
In many cases, this is not possible, so the veterinarian sometimes opts for treating the symptoms straight away as an IBD case.
Treatment and Natural Support
Modifications to the diet are very common in the treatment of IBD.
Treatment for IBD consists of a combination of medication and nutritional therapy. Modifications to the diet are very common in the treatment of IBD since many times the main cause can be related to food allergies, so hypoallergenic diets and food trials are recommended.
A personalized nutrition plan is an excellent option as well and our in-house veterinarian, Dr. Amanda can create one based on your kitty’s needs.
IBD treatment can also include medications for intestinal parasites, supplementation with B12 vitamins, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories.
That’s why NHV created the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD/IBS) Comfort Kit. It comes with:
- Inulin-PK supports gastrointestinal tract healing and promotes good intestinal bacteria for regular bowel movements.
- Plantaeris helps maintain normal bowel function while reducing discomfort.
- TumFlora: a powerful yet gentle blend of herbs that can help to support the overall GI tract while improving natural intestinal flora. This product also helps to reduce discomfort.
In some cases, IBD can progress to gastrointestinal lymphoma, so it’s very important to keep this condition under control.
We recommend including ES-Clear in the regimen in some cases when it’s not possible to determine if the cat has IBD or lymphoma. The herbs in ES-Clear help reduce inflammation, promote the purification of the blood, and support the detoxification of vital organs. It also helps to support the immune system and improve the quality of life, vitality, and energy levels.
NHV TumFlora – along with our newest Probiotic + Prebiotic supplement – can help to maintain gut health while improving natural intestinal flora. TumFlora may also help to reduce discomfort!
If you have more questions about how you can support your kitty with IBD, please reach out to Dr. Aline and the other NHV pet experts. We’re always happy to help!

Plantaeris is a gentle, natural vet-formulated supplement to help cat diarrhea. It is designed to help reduce symptoms of diarrhea and maintain normal bowel function. It also helps soothe and relieve spasms, and discomfort. Since this herbal formulation helps balance the body, it can be used on a longer-term basis if your cat suffers from frequent diarrhea (though it is vital to understand the underlying cause of diarrhea).
How to Stop a Cat’s Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a symptom of digestive disorders. In cats, it can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, parasites, or commonly an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease.
To help with cat diarrhea, make sure your pet is getting adequate water and nutrition as diarrhea can lead to weight loss, dehydration, vomiting, and lethargy. Remember that a cat can be eating the same food for years and still develop a food allergy to it. Talk to your vet to rule out any underlying conditions.
For days when your cat is suffering from acute diarrhea, the Plantaeris dosage may be safely doubled. You can then bring down the dosage to normal after the episode has passed. Try adding a bit of pumpkin to their diet to help bulk up stools.
