Are there any natural medicines that can cure ulcerative colitis? |
1,4000 mg a day of asacol. 100 mg a day of mercaptopurine. 1mg folic acid a day. 1 Multi-vitamin and 350mg iron per day. Keeps you stable. Does not stop the colon from bleeding. Anti inflammatory steroids good for short term, for long term very dangerous. Side effects are really nasty. Any natural medicines out there to be proven to cure ulcerative colitis or to help the colon stop bleeding completely? Please don't mention colectomy (removal of the colon). There has to be something before resorting to a last resort decision. Thank you. I took asacol and it made my condition worse (more anemic) and I had the modified parks procedure (j-pouch) 3 years ago. I am much healthier and would do it all over again (surgery) if I had to. I was close to having a blood transfusion done and my colitis was so bad that they told me that I had a high chance of developing colon cancer in 10 yrs if I didn't have the whole colon removed. There is no colostomy bag and I lead a normal life (more than when I had U.C). There are support groups out there that can give you more insight and people who have had the procedure done (I still attend them)..I know you didn't want to know about this procedure but my ulcerative colitis was downright nasty and I tried to take the route of medicine. Please visit the link below...it's my story / battle with the illness. It sounds like you are doing everything that has been shown to help. There are not any proven or well regarded natural therapies that will cure this problem. If there was such a thing it would be sold for large sums of money by multinational pharmaceutical company by now. |
