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 all of yours,
I am also suffering from symptoms like Colitis/ IBS/ amibiosis .They all are related. But there is no care forever. Instead the symptoms repeat after an interval of time.
I have cramps in stomach, diarrhea, gas,flatulence, in whole abdomen,upper or lower. No blood in the stool.Doctor diagnose as IBS/colitis .
I want to tell you some easy treatment according to Unani view.
Dysentery/ dirreoha (Pls ignore the spelling mistakes) is usually caused by dryness of the inner walls of stomach,the lubricant is called balgham.If our mucus of intestine becomes dry we suffered from such diseases.
To lubricate it , In the early morning ,on the empty stomach, take halwa( of wheat ,not of rawa)rich in shudh ghee .Take only two or three grasp .Then do not drink tea for 1 hour. After that take your breakfast as usual. Apply it for 30 days and see the results. I know doctor said not to take high fat but it works.I experienced it, and it will also heals your internal wounds such as ulcers by keeping acid not to touch with the internal walls of the intestine.If you want more details write to mzar_sidd@yahoo.com

My husband is 40 years old and has been suffering from ulcerative colitis for almost 7 yrs on and off and he’s in so much pain. Its horrible seeing the person you love the most go through this in such severe pain. He needs help and nothing prescribed will take the pain away and these doctors wont give you anything for pain barely anyway they’d rather you suffer I hate this can someone just find a cure already. He can barely keep his job right now too.
