Colitis remedies suggested by our users
Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon. The disease results from prolonged irritation and inflammation of the delicate membrane which lines the walls of the colon. Chronic ulcerative colitis is a severe prolonged inflammation of the colon or large bowel, in which ulcers form on the walls of the colon.
Colitis Symptoms
Increased urgency to move the bowel, bloody mucus in the stools
Colitis usually begins in the lower part of the colon and spreads upwards. The first symptom of the trouble is an increased urgency to move the bowel, followed by cramping pains in the abdomen and, sometimes, bloody mucus in the stools. As the disease spreads upward, the stools become watery and more frequent and are characterised by rectal straining. The loss of blood and fluid from the bowels results in weakness, fever, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and anaemia.
Bloated feeling, constipation, insomnia
Other symptoms are a bloated feeling, constipation alternating with diarrhoea or persistent diarrhoea for years together, and insomnia.. The patient is usually malnourished and may be severely underweight.
Colitis cause
Colitis Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Chronic constipation, use of purgatives
One of the causes of colitis is chronic constipation and the use of purgatives. Constipation causes an accumulation of the hard faecal matter which is never properly evacuated. Purgatives used as a 'cure' only increase irritation.
Poorly digested roughage especially of cereals and carbohydrates
Often colitis results from poorly digested roughage, especially of cereals and carbohydrates, which causes bowel irritation.
Intake of antibiotics and stress
Other causes of the disease are an allergic sensitivity to certain foods, intake of antibiotics and severe stress.
Home Remedies for Colitis
Colitis home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Colitis treatment using Banana
One or two ripe bananas taken every day are one of the most effective home remedies for ulcerative colitis. Being bland, smooth, easily-digestible and slightly laxative, they relieve the acute symptoms and promote the healing process.
Colitis treatment using Buttermilk
A glass of buttermilk taken daily is another effective remedy for colitis. It is the residual liquid left over after the fat has been removed from curd by churning
Colitis treatment using Tender Coconut
Drinking the water of one tender coconut daily has been found valuable in colitis. It is soothing to the soft mucosa of the colon.
Colitis treatment using Apples
Steamed apples also aid the healing of ulcerative lesions because of their ample concentration of iron and phosphorus.
Colitis treatment using Drumstick
Drumsticks are also useful in colitis. A teaspoon of fresh leaf juice, mixed with an equal quantity of honey and a glass of tender coconut water, is given two or three times daily as a herbal medicine for the treatment of this disease.
Colitis treatment using Rice
Rice has a very low fibre content, and is, therefore, extremely soothing in colitis. A thick gruel of rice mixed with a glass of buttermilk and a ripe banana, given twice a day, forms a very nutritious, well-balanced diet in this disease.
Colitis treatment using Wheat-grass
The juice of wheat-grass (a grass which grows after sowing wheat grains in the earth) used as an enema, helps detoxify the walls of the colon. The general procedure is to first give an enema with lukewarm water. After waiting for twenty minutes, 90-120 ml of wheat-grass juice enema is given. This should be retained for fifteen minutes. This enema is very helpful in disorders associated with colitis. Wheat-grass can be grown at home in earthen pots if it is not available through dealers.
Diet for Colitis
Colitis : Home Remedies suggested by users
Papaya juice, raw cabbage juice and carrot juice
Diet plays an important part in the treatment of colitis. It is advisable to observe a juice fast for five days or so, in most cases of ulcerative colitis. Papaya juice, raw cabbage juice, and carrot juice are especially beneficial.
Avoid Citrus juice
Citrus juices should be avoided.
Have steamed vegetables, rice, home-made cottage cheese etc
After the juice fast, the patient should gradually adopt a diet of small, frequent meals of soft cooked or steamed vegetables, rice, porridge, broken wheat, and well-ripened fruits like banana and papaya, yoghurt, and home-made cottage cheese. Sprouted seeds and grains, wholemeal bread, and raw vegetables may be added gradually to this diet after about ten days. All food must be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly.
Avoid white sugar, highly seasoned foods, alcoholic beverages
Foods which should be excluded from the diet are white sugar, white bread, and white flour products; highly seasoned foods; highly salted foods; strong tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages; and foods cooked in aluminum pans.
Other Colitis treatments
Warm-water enema
During the first five days of the juice fast, the bowels should be cleansed daily with a warm-water enema
Buttermilk enema
A buttermilk enema taken twice a week is also soothing and helps in re-installing useful bacterial flora in the colon.
Complete bedrest is necessary, avoid stress
Complete bedrest is very important. The patient should eliminate all causes of tension and face his discomfort with patience.

Cure for Ulcerative Colitis
suggested by Georgios on Sunday, March 23, 2008
|
| This is how I cured myself of this condition. Although I used many methods, MMS was the most potent protocol I have ever tried to cure myself. MMS is for Miracle Mineral Solution and its 28% Sodium Chlorite. Before consuming it you have to activate it with lemon or lime juice or citric acid for 3 mins. For every drop of MMS add 5 drops of lemon juice (fresh squeezed) and after 3 mins add some water and drink. MMS can be purchased from many sites online. I bought mine from e-bay. MMS is one of the strongest anti-microbials. It kills fungi, parasites, viri, amoebas, mycoplasmas and such stuff. I started from 1 drop daily and reached 15-20 drops daily in 2 weeks. The only herxheimer reactions I had were some nausea and loose stools. Finally, I was able to rid myself of intestinal bleeding, food allergies, intestinal pain etc, in 1 1/2 months of using MMS. I'm now as strong as before UC, don't hurt anymore and see my future positively. I don't drink any MMS anymore but may do that in the near future as a prevention. Please spread the word to others who also suffer from digestive diseases. It's truly a miracle. Special thanks to Jim Humble who found about its use. ps. if you have silver fillings(amalgams)please consider replacing them with composite ones since Mercury leaching from them, won't allow you to recover. BE WELL |

| One year ago this month, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and lost 35 lbs-went down to 115 lbs. One month ago, my father, Dr. Billie Martin (Houston) told me to take omega 3-fatty acids, 10 per day, for 1 month. After 3 weeks, my condition is COMPLETELY CURED and I don't have to take any medicine anymore. |
Fish Cil for UC
suggested by Charles on Monday, May 21, 2007
|
| I have had UC for over 22 years. Had bad reaction to Rx meds. 20 years ago, I started taking 10g of Fish Oil (1000mg Omega-3 Fatty Acid gel-caps)per day. Was symptom-free within 30 days and have remained so ever since. Does not halt progression of disease, but caused me to function normally (2-3 bm's per day, no blood, no cramps, no mucus). Best place to buy: Sam's Club---400 gel caps for a little over $8.00. |
