ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC) is a disease in which the lining of the large intestine (colon) becomes inflamed. This inflammation leads to the formation of raw sores, or ulcers, causing pain and bloody diarrhea. UC usually begins gradually with bloody diarrhea, rectal bleeding, cramps or pain in the belly, and growing urgency to move the bowels. Depending on which area of the colon is affected, the stool may be normal or hard and dry.
Other symptoms may be fever, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, anaemia from loss of blood, pus in the stool, malnutrition and slow growth in children.
UC can also affect parts of the body outside the colon, causing skin sores, mouth sores, joint pain, and inflammation of the eyes, the liver, the kidneys or the gallbladder.
Homeopathic medicines Merc Sol, Merc Cor, Sulphur and Phosphorus are a few of the important ones used in treating ulcerative colitis. The patient requiring Merc Sol has a continuous urge for passing stool and urine ? a never-get-done feeling. One often passes pure blood or bloody water. Symptoms asking for Merc Cor are nearly the same as those of Merc Sol; it is only the intensity which contributes to the selection. Merc Cor has more violent attacks, with a violent urge to pass stool and to urinate. Intense suffering follows. Phosphorus is indicated in cases which have painless and profuse stool passed involuntarily and freely.
Sulphur is indicated in long-standing cases of ulcerative colitis

Dear docter sahebji. Kindly suggest me a treatment. From last six month a chip-chipa/like puss type is coming with my tolet. Thanking you.
My husband has UC and read online about Vitamin E enemas. I know it sounds bad and very uncomfortable, however it helps him. It hasnt ” cured” him yet but he was on Meds for a few months but we moved and lost our insurance, so he gave the enemas a try because he got desperate. He has to be strict with his diet, but other than that he is fine and is not taking any meds for it and hasnt had a flair up for several months. However, if he eats “unhealthy” for a few days in a row, blood in the stool will return. But if he sticks to his diet he feels like a million bucks. Also, Sea Buckthorn Oil is a supposed cure. Research the Vit E enema and Sea Buckthorn it may help. Thanks
