Question:
Colitis Acute PAIN Looking for any herbal or diet tips?
The pain is severe. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I live in Costa Rica so fancy health food stores are not readily available.
Thanks
Answers:
Try a nicotine patch.....Nicotine helps calm the nerve endings in the stomach and digestive tract (which is why smokers crave that after-dinner cigarette.) Also, boost the amount of yogurt you eat; the cultures in yogurt help maintain regular digestive function so it may aid in keeping your flareups managable. Does your doctor have you on any anti-inflammatory or anti-spasmodic meds? Asacol works wonders and has very few side effects....Good luck!
