Hello doctor, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis one year ago. I consulted a doctor and started taking Vegas OD and Cardinol. It got controlled but again there was a flare-up. I need to go to the toilet eight to 10 times, stomach cramps, and pain and blood seen in the stool. So, I started ayurvedic medicine now such as Belwadi churna along with Gangadhar churna, sankha Basma, Kapardak Basma, Kaharwa pisti, Kutajghan vati and Kutjarist syrup. I am also taking Mesacol 400 mg four tablet TDS and Cortonil 25 mg OD. I am taking these medicines since 20 days and now I am feeling much better. My stool is fine, no blood is seen. I go to the toilet only three to four times. But, my stomach is still paining mildly and excessive gas is forming. Please suggest me. Am I taking the right medicine?
Hi. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease associated with pain, and bleeding in stool as you mentioned in your complaints. It is a very notorious disease. Its healing mostly depends on your lifestyle and food habits. Stress is also one of the causes of ulcerative colitis. You are taking good medicines now. You should continue them for at least three months regularly. In this period, you should avoid spicy and fried junk foods, avoid smoking and drinking if you have these habits. Skip milk and milk products but you can take curd with cumin powder 3 g. You should also avoid tea and coffee. Prefer fibrous foods and fruit as well as leafy greens vegetables. You can add Sandu Bilajil one spoon twice before food. Takra basti has a good result in such kind of cases. You can visit a Panchakarma specialist near you to take Basti therapy. Continue your medications. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online -->
