Colitis means an inflammation of the colon and is usually accompanied by frequent bouts of diarrhea. A healthy diet of whole grain breads and cereals, fresh vegeables and fruit and lean meats is essential. Avoiding junk food, fast food, fried food, sugar, coffee, alcohol, spicy food and milk products will help tremendously. It is also a good idea to avoid using the microwave to prepare your food. Food should be steamed, baked or grilled. Be sure to drink plenty of filtered water if you are having diarrhea, as you may be dehydrated. A naturopathic physician is highly trained in digestive health and may be of great help. Look for one in your area to help you address the colitis.
