Ulcerative Colitis Cure?

If you have Ulcerative Colitis and are looking for a cure then there is hope. However there isn't yet a magic pill you can take which will cure you in 10 minutes. Ulcerative Colitis is an autoimmune condition which causes inflammation of the colon. To cure it you have to reduce this inflammation and then there is no colitis. This is exactly what Doctors try to do with Pharmaceuticals such as Prednisolone, which is a steroid and steroids reduce inflammation in the body, unfortunately once you stop the drugs the inflammation tends to come back, all the drug is doing is masking the symptoms not addressing the root cause. But if you can find a way to stop your body from becoming inflamed in the first place then it will mean that you will probably never have a flare up again. In fact there are many promising non pharmaceutical treatments available today which have no side effects and can keep colitis at bay by reducing inflammation naturally.

· Probiotics are anti inflammatory and have been shown in several studies to be as effective as Mesalazine in maintaining remission. They have also been used to induce remission in one study and were very successful.

· Elemental Drinks- these are a type supplemental food in the form of a liquid diet which in studies have been shown to induce remission as effectively as steroids.

· Boswellia is an anti inflammatory herb from India which in one medical study was shown to be as effective as Mesalazine in maintaining remission and has no known side effects.

· Ashwaganda is another herb which in studies has proved to be more effective than steroids in reducing inflammation.

· Diet can play a huge role in Colitis, and there may be trigger foods that you are not aware of which may trigger a flare up; if you avoid them then you may never have a problem again.

· Regular exercise has been shown to have an anti inflammatory effect on the body, especially short burst of high intensity exercise.

So whilst there is no magic cure for colitis the solution is quite straightforward, once we reduce the inflammation in our bodies through diet, exercise, probiotics and possibly some herbs if required then we will no longer suffer from Colitis.
