Colitis

Colitis is a disease almost exclusively of civilised nations - put in the class of ailments called "civilised diseases". This stems from its main causes which are dietary and lifestyle in origin - a refined diet, sedentary lifestyle, and stress.

The symptoms of Spastic Colitis are: abdominal pain, abdominal distension, cramps, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, and mucus.

With Ulcerative Colitis the symptoms are: attacks of bloody diarrhoea, cramps, blood in stool and mucus. Ulcerative Colitis is more likely to occur after a bout of intestinal flu.

Colitis responds to lifestyle changes: high fibre diet, drinking plenty of fluids, daily exercise and stress management techniques.

Tip: Slippery Elm, a herb described as a demulcent, is excellent as a treatment for Colitis as it helps to heal the mucous membranes of the colon.
