Can colitis be cured naturally?



Colitis cannot actually be “cured”, but in many cases it can be controlled enough so that it stops interfering with your ability to function relatively normally and enjoy life. If your condition is severe, medication might be necessary, but otherwise, you can manage the condition on your own, mostly by modifying your diet. You haven't mentioned your symptoms and whether you have any specific type of colitis — ulcerative colitis, for example, is usually more severe and complex, although extremely rare. If your condition is severe, it will be best for you to consult your doctor and follow his or her advice. Treatment will need to be tailored to suit your needs, which is not possible in this forum. If you are unhappy with the amount of medication your doctor is prescribing, you can discuss this with her, or even get a second opinion.

However, if your colitis is mild, you can manage it by drinking plenty of water, sticking to soups, and avoiding fiber during an attack. For most bowel conditions, people are advised to eat more fiber, but for colitis, you need to do the opposite. In addition, you should keep track of what foods aggravate your condition and avoid them. However, make sure that you do not cut out any important food group and that you get enough nutrition in general, especially because during attacks your nutrition levels will be low.
