ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Ulcers with blood and mucus may be present.

It differs slightly from irritable bowel syndrome and spastic colitis which are chronic disorders involving the central nervous system.

These conditions may be brought on by stress, food intolerances or allergies, antibiotic abuse or poor diet.

Stress reduction plays an important role in the treatment of all these disorders and correction of diet is vital.

Alternative therapy is very effective in the treatment of these diseases.
