Ulcerative colitis improved with Ayurvedic medicines, but tummy pain persists. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Firstly, I would like to inform you that ulcerative colitis is a troublesome condition characterized by inflammation of the bowel, leading to symptoms such as pain and bleeding in the stool, as you have described. Managing this disease effectively requires adopting a healthy lifestyle and making appropriate dietary choices. Stress is also known to contribute to ulcerative colitis. The medications you are currently taking are suitable for your condition, and I suggest you continue taking them consistently for at least three months. During this period, I suggest you avoid spicy and fried junk foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol if you have these habits. You should also limit your consumption of milk and milk products, but you can include curd with a pinch of cumin powder (approximately 0.11 oz) in your diet. Avoid drinking tea and coffee instead, focus on consuming fibrous foods, such as fresh fruits and leafy green vegetables. Additionally, I suggest you add sandu bilagyl (a combination of aegle marmelos or bael fruit and sugar) to your regimen, taking one spoonful twice a day before meals. Takra basti, a therapeutic procedure involving the administration of medicated enemas (such as anuvasana, saindhava lavana, and honey), has shown positive results in cases like yours. I suggest you consult a panchakarma specialist, talk with them, and undergo basti therapy. Remember to maintain regular follow-ups with your doctor and continue taking your prescribed medications as suggested. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
