how to get rid of colitis?

Answer 1

Treatment for ulcerative colitis depends on the seriousness of the disease. Most people are treated with medication. In severe cases, you may need surgery to remove the diseased colon. Surgery is the only cure for ulcerative colitis.

Each person may experience ulcerative colitis differently, so treatment is adjusted for your needs. Emotional and psychological support is important.

Remission periods occur. The symptoms go away for months or even years. But you don't know if or when they will return. That's why it's difficult to tell which treatments, if any, work.

With ulcerative colitis, you may need regular medical visits to monitor your condition

Signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms of colitis include pain, tenderness in the abdomen, fever, swelling of the colon tissue, bleeding, erythema (redness) of the surface of the colon, rectal bleeding, and ulcerations of the colon. Tests that show these signs are plain X-rays of the colon, testing the stool for blood and pus, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy. Additional tests include stool cultures and blood tests,and blood chemistry tests.

Types
There are several types of colitis, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, diversion colitis, ischemic colitis, infectious colitis, and atypical colitis.

A well known subtype of infectious colitis is pseudomembranous colitis, resulting from infection by a toxigenic strain of Clostridium difficile. Parasitic infections can also cause colitis.

Any colitis which has a rapid downhill clinical course is known as fulminant colitis. In addition to the diarrhea, fever, and anemia seen in colitis, the patient has severe abdominal pain and a clinical picture similar to septicemia with shock is present. Approximately half of those patients require surgery.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a separate disease which has been called spastic colitis or spastic colon. This name causes confusion since colitis is not a feature of irritable bowel syndrome.

Autistic enterocolitis is a disputed medical entity but refers to a type of colitis found in patients with autism.

Treatment
Treatment of colitis may include the administration of antibiotics and general anti-inflammatory medications such as Mesalamine or its derivatives; steroids, or one of a number of other drugs that ameliorate inflammation. Surgery is sometimes needed, especially in cases of fulminant colitis.

Some have found a change in diet to be effective at treating the symptoms of colitis, especially reducing the intake of carbohydrates. This approach has been championed by Elaine Gottschall.

Answer 3

I was diagnosed with colitis when I was 13 years old. That was really a long time ago. At that time, I was placed on a diet of: no spices including pepper, no acidic juices and no sodas, bed rest for 2 weeks. This gave my intestines time to heal and it worked. I don't know what the medical treatment is now, but if you have been diagnosed please follow your doctor's instructions. The inflamed intestine has to have time and proper diet to heal.

Answer 4

Do a long juice fast followed by a live food diet.

Treating the symptoms is not a solution. The only solution for every problem, including colitis, is to remove the cause and the root cause to almost every problem, everything from obesity to cancer to crime, are foods that are less than ideal.

Answer 5

It's a chronic illness. That means it's incurable. There are drugs to manage the symptoms, but you'll have it for the rest of your life.
