Nutrition can be useful in the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in many ways –
- Colitis Sufferers require excellent nutrition to strengthen themselves after a Colitis episode, the right kind of diet which is nutritious and helps reduce inflammation is very useful. Many people find eating a Paleo type diet helpful.
- Vitamins are very useful during recovery; a multi vitamin as well as Vitamins C E & D can be very helpful in treating Colitis. But take Vitamin C as Calcium Ascorbate not Ascorbic Acid as it may cause pain.
- Calcium – Following a Flare up which has been treated with Prednisolone it is a definately a good idea to take calcium pills if you doctor is not already providing them. Calcium helps prevent osteoporosis which can be a side effect of steroids like Prednisolone. It also helps to reduce Diarrhea.
- Iron – If there has been bleeding during a flare up you may become anaemic and need to boost your Iron Levels. This is often done by an Iron Infusion as Iron pills can sometimes upset Colitis symptoms.
- Omega 3 Fatty Acids are an excellent supplement for staying in remission- they are anti inflammatory and Colitis is an Inflammatory Condition, so anything to reduce inflammation is a winner.
- Herbs – such as Boswellia and Turmeric are very useful in reducing inflammation in the body as a whole.
- Probiotics – Either as supplements or in the form of Kefir made with Goats Milk. Probiotics are excellent at improving the good bacteria in the Gut and reducing inflammation.
