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

I have been diagnosed with UC for 4 years, but I suspect I have had it much longer. I take 750mg of Colazol X 16 per day. Repeated courses of prednisone. I am still suffering. A new problem is severe hemorrhoids and tenesmus. I read that sulphur is used in homeopathic treatment, but I have also read studies that say high sulphur diet can bring on flares in people with UC. Can you please recommend a treatment for me?
Thank you,

Dear Sir,
My son is one year old, healthy, active and with a normal weight. However, he is not a chubby baby with a lot of baby fat. My in-laws insist on giving him biochemic tissue salts mixed in water everyday without any symptom or illness. They think he is weak and these biochemic medicines will maintain good health. T he paediatrician has never shown any concern during his routine check ups. My in-laws claim biochemic tissue salts have no side effect and can be taken even without any symptoms of illness.
I’m very worried…should my son be given medicines without any illness?
Regards,
A worried mother
