Re: Sounds like ulcerative colitis       03/31/03 08:21 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Welcome to the board! It sounds like you've gotten a diagnosis for ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammatory bowel disease. This is not to be confused with "colitis" or "spastic colitis" which are old-fashioned terms for IBS. But, the diet guidelines for IBD and IBS are the same, so we can help you there. I'm going to send you to some links for diet info - it's really important for you to pay attention to insoluble fiber, as too much of it could cause a bowel obstruction if you have intestinal scarring from past episodes of inflammation. Also, it's crucial that you avoid red meat as you're already at an increased risk of colon cancer as a result of the IBD. Check this link web page for more info. I'd add in something like flax oil or fish oil supplements as well. They have omega 3 fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory and can be helpful. Soothing herbal teas like peppermint or fennel will also make you feel better. Best, Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
