Curb Ulcerative Colitis: Care For Your Gut

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the colon. It affects the large colon and rectum of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of this condition usually develop over time, rather than occurring suddenly. Symptoms vary depending on the severity and where it affects you internally. The main symptoms of ulcerative colitis are the pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. It is a chronic remitting and relapsing autoimmune disease of the lining of the colon. Remitting and relapsing means that the patient has symptom-free periods followed by flare-ups. The disease course can affect the quality of life and the normal day-to-day functioning of the patient negatively. There are various risk factors of ulcerative colitis, such as age, diet, family history, stress, and lifestyle disorders affecting the colon. The exact cause of this condition is not yet known, but it is considered as an autoimmune disorder which means that an immune system malfunction occurs, wherein an abnormal immune response causes the immune system cells to attack the cells and lining of the digestive tract. This disorder may lead to debilitating conditions and cause complications. Identifying the symptoms with early diagnosis and following active prevention measures are the keys to treat ulcerative colitis. Treating ulcerative colitis is to prevent the next relapse and to have symptom-free periods as much as possible.

The solution to this health problem of ulcerative colitis is identifying the cause of flare-up of this condition and fixing it.

Keep a careful watch on all the triggers that cause the inflammation of the colon, such as excessive sugar, caffeinated drinks, carbonated drinks, oily spicy food, smoking, alcohol, white bread, dairy products, over the counter drugs, and conventional medicines’ side-effects.
