What are the dangers of ulcerative colitis?

Question

What is the worst thing that can happen and is there any chance to be treated entirely??

Answer 1

Loss of blood can lead to anemia.  Your GI mucosa can become fibrotic (scarred) which can lead to hindered absorptive function in those affected areas.  The chronic inflammation associated with UC can be very uncomfortable and may result in depression.

You can treat this condition with diet.  This would probably  require a complete lifestyle change.  I'd also recommend seeing a toxicologist or licensed Naturopathic physician because UC is an autoimmune disease in response to some external force (toxins, food sensitivities, etc) and these professions specialize in these kinds of chronic illnesses.

Answer 2

You will need to speak to your doctor to find out what degree of severity your case is and if you need meds.  It is true that some folks can control their UC with herbal remedies or diet.  Others, cannot and need prescribed meds.  A major danger is internal bleeding and infection.  With the proper meds (and depending on the severity of your case), you can live your life normally and you barely even think about the UC.  Good luck!

Answer 3

Although there are many products on the market which claim to be ulcerative colitis remedies, it is important to follow your doctor's advice. Products containing aloe are often recommended by many doctors, but taking other products without consulting your doctor, including activated charcoal and ulcerative colitis symptoms may worsen.

Some companies are advertising activated charcoal and ulcerative colitis remedies as alternatives to medicines which have been proven to keep ulcerative colitis under control in the majority of people who suffer from the disease.
