Colitis Symptoms And Natural Cures For Ulcerative Colitis

Colitis is a disease of the colon, which is a part of the large intestine in between the cecum and rectum

. The disease is marked by acute pain and inflammation in the colon often due to ulcerous growth around the walls of the passage. It is also often accompanied by several other chronic conditions. This condition is caused primarily because of severe pressure on the walls of the colon for a prolonged period of time.

Dire constipation, indigestion, high-stress lifestyle, or unhealthy food habits can all be the cause of this condition. At other times, antibiotics or other medicines taken in excess dosages or food allergy can cause this condition. A lot of people suffer from this condition because of irregular and inadequate bowel movements or even due to their digestive system being incapable of digesting certain type of food.

Symptoms

A constant feeling of having bowel movement. It is also called Tenesmus.

Constant pain

Inflammation, infection, chills and fever.

In the bowel movement there may be the presence of blood.

Abdominal pain occurs in waves which causes diarrhea.

Natural Cures

Best way to control colitis is to shift on liquid diet. Diet plays an important role in curing colitis. Fluid diet is best for colitis as it allows the colon to rest and nothing is passed into the colon to be processed as stool.

Intake of excess water is very necessary to cure colitis. With each diarrheal bowel movement an individual loses a significant amount of fluid. So adequate fluid should be taken to maintain the balance otherwise it will lead to dehydration and an individual will suffer from the problem of abdominal pain and cramping.

Take Probiotics in particular VSL-3 which is specifically formulated for Ulcerative Colitis. In one medical study at The University of Alberta UC patients were given 8 sachets a day for 6 weeks and this produced remission in 77% of them. Also get some Kefir Grains and make your own Kefir with Goats Milk, which is easy to do and provides you with a nourishing drink which is packed with probiotics.

Drink Fangocur Clay it is a clay based mineral drink which is a highly effective natural remedy for Colitis. It has been studied at the Medical University if Vienna and was found to be effective in the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis. It fights inflammation of the intestinal wall and reduces diarrhoea.

Diet, No Sugar or Alcohol at all, Best to avoid fruit too with the possible exception of the odd banana. Chicken Stock Soup is soothing and nutritious in a flare up- the recipe is on my site Colitisrecovery.com. Avoid all grains, beans and potatoes, with the exception of rice.

Eat Chicken and Fish but when you cook them only steam or boil, absolutely no frying. Vegetables are ok if well cooked, again steam them well, but avoid the really fibrous root ones like Swede, also avoid tomatoes and peppers. Avoid all dairy products, I find they make any bleeding worse - except Kefir and homemade probiotic yogurt. Don't overeat, have lots of small meals little and often is best.

Take these Herbs - Boswellia, Turmeric and Ashwaganda, all are very effective anti inflammatories, in one study Ashwaganda was shown to be a stronger anti inflammatory than steroids.
