Colitis refers to an inflammation of the larger bowels or colon.
There are several types of colitis, but ulcerative colitis
is the most common and most serious. The inflammation
causes small ulcers to develop in the mucous membranes of the
intestine. In most cases, the inflammation flares up and then
recedes.
Bouts of colitis typically cause relentless cramping pains and
diarrhea, possibly containing blood and mucous. The diarrhea
often alternates with stubborn constipation and hard stools.
Fever and fatigue are common during attacks. Nutritional
deficiencies may develop as an inflamed colon cannot
adequately perform its function of absorbing water and minerals.
If intestinal bleeding occurs, anemia results. Bouts of ulcerative
colitis are highly individual and often dependent upon emotional
stress. In long standing severe cases, the constant inflammation
of cells in the colon increases the risk for colon cancer.
Ulcerative colitis can easily be confused with other
inflammatory bowel problems, including IBS (Irritable
Bowel Syndrome), and crohns
disease. Diarrhea from inflammation of the colon can have
many other causes, including a bacterial or parasitic
infection.
Ulcerative colitis is thought to be an autoimmune disease, but
it is strongly linked to a poor diet.
A diet low in fiber and high in sugar and other refined carbohydrates,
including white flour, rice, and pastas, which are deprived
of their nutrients and fiber can contribute to ulcerative colitis.
Colitis is also linked to an over stimulation of the sympathetic
nervous system caused by constant stress and unresolved emotional
conflicts. Antibiotics cause an imbalance in the intestinal
flora of the colon by destroying friendly
bacteria. Anti-inflammatory medications tend to increase
the need for certain nutrients and contribute to deficiencies.
A helpful solution is to adopt a natural foods and predominantly
vegetarian diet, consisting mainly of vegetables, fruits,
and grains (not wheat), which provide complex carbohydrates
and mucilaginous, water-soluble fiber. Psyllium
fiber helps soften stools and soothe bowel irritation.*
Take 1 1/2 teaspoons in a glass of water or juice before bedtime
and in the morning when you wake up. Psyllium forms a soft,
gelatinous bulk substance that attaches itself to the trapped
matter in the bowel pockets and helps ease hard, rope-like fecal
waste, out of your system. Normally, this encrusted waste would
be pulled from the colon wall much like pulling off a scab,
causing bleeding.
Supplements with essential fatty acids along with a high quality
multi-vitamin
(high in Vitamin B-complex) can be very helpful. Beta-carotene,
magnesium, Vitamin E, and a good antioxidant supplement
are musts if the body is going to be given a chance to heal
itself.*
