Ulcerative Colitis Treatments NY - Dr. Robert Lichtenstein DC, CNS

Traditional Medical Ulcerative Colitis Treatments 

Traditional ulcerative colitis treatments usually consist of medications to control the symptoms and surgery to remove damage as it develops. The drugs used can allow the condition to go into remission for a while, but they are not cures for the disease. Many medications also cause side effects that may increase the risk of other health concerns. Surgery to remove inflamed sections of the large intestine can also initiate remission. However, the surgery risks and the return of the illness make the permanent loss of intestinal tissue a challenge to accept.

Choosing Natural Remedies for Ulcerative Colitis

Anyone reading this page is probably tired of their recurring UC pain and of ineffective medical care. However, covering up the problem by making symptoms stop for a few weeks or months is not enough. People need to heal their bodies to prevent pain and eliminate the risk of severe illnesses from UC in the future.

Natural ulcerative colitis remedies offer that opportunity. The right food, a healthy weight, and regular exercise paired with targeted supplements can make it happen. These methods achieve the goal of relief from chronic conditions because they contribute to keeping the body strong and functioning appropriately.

Dr. Robert Lichtenstein cured his stage 4 cancer twice with these methods. Dr. Lichtenstein is a certified nutritionist (CSN) and a chiropractor who used his training and in-depth research to discover how to strengthen the body so it can heal itself. He helps his patients develop similar plans for their health needs.

Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis

Most UC symptoms match those of other digestive diseases. Some are unique to this disease. The most common problems people experience with UC include:

• Abdominal pain
• Pus and blood in diarrhea
• Anemia
• Chronic diarrhea
• Severe fatigue
• Unintended weight loss
  

• Loss of appetite
• Rectal bleeding
• Joint pain
• Failure to thrive (children)
• Skin sores
  

Causes of Ulcerative Colitis

It is unknown why some people develop UC and others do not. Some known causes exist for the condition, but not everyone with the same risk factors develops the disease. Diet and stress can trigger a flare-up but are not known to cause the illness. The most common causes or increased risk factors are:

• Abnormal immune responses
• Environmental factors
• Family history of digestive diseases
  

Potential Risks of Leaving Ulcerative Colitis Untreated

Ulcerative colitis does not get better on its own, and leaving the condition untreated will allow it to worsen. Serious complications, including death, can occur if people with UC do not attempt to put the symptoms into remission or to make themselves better. Some of the risks of untreated UC include:

• Ulcers in the colon
• Weakening of the colon wall
• Ruptures of the colon wall
• Abdominal infections from a ruptured colon
• Fulminant colitis causes fever, bloody stools, and severe stomach pain
• Toxic megacolon – when the colon enlarges and causes life-threatening complications
• A higher risk of bowel cancer
• Malnutrition
• Osteoporosis
