<\/p>\nUlcerative colitis is a disease of unknown cause characterised by inflammation and ulceration of the large intestine (colon), resulting in the frequent passage of stools with blood and mucus. The onset resembles an attack of dysentery. The failure to respond to the usual therapeutic measures draws attention to the fact that the disease might be ulcerative colitis. This disease is more common in females.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Acute attacks are more often during mental conflicts and emotional stress. Allergy to certain foods may be a factor in precipitating the disease. Milk, for instance, is one of the foods not well tolerated by patients who suffer from this disease and its exclusion from the diet always helps.<\/p>\n
Severe weakness in ulcerative colitis is the result of insufficient food consumption, loss of blood and electrolytes in the stools. Liver damage is not unusual in prolonged ulcerative colitis, impairing proper synthesis of proteins and storage of fat-soluble vitamins.<\/p>\n
Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n A soft, low-fibre, high-protein diet is recommended. This can be achieved in a person taking a mixed diet. In a vegetarian it is a difficult task, particularly when milk is also excluded.<\/p>\n Fat used in normal cooking is tolerated. Fried foods are not easily digested and therefore should be avoided.<\/p>\n All forms of irritant and stale foods should be strictly avoided. Raw salads, dried fruits and nuts, condiments and spices, papad, chutney and pickles are strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n Cereals should be taken in the refined form (chokar to be removed). Only dhuli dais should be consumed.<\/p>\n Mineral loss may be marked and unless replaced may contribute to a fatal outcome. So liberal amounts of fluid, especially in the form of soups, is advisable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ulcerative colitis is a disease of unknown cause characterised by inflammation and ulceration of the large intestine (colon), resulting in the frequent passage of stools with blood and mucus.
