When it becomes evident that there is swelling (inflammation) of the large intestine (colon), this should incate a condition known as colitis. It should also be noted that this illness bears a similarity, to a lesser degree of Crohn's disease, though both are known to be associated as a type of inflammatory bowel disease.
Colitis Natural Health Healing Tips
Fish oil
It has been noted that fish oil has benefits for those with colitis. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, may have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce symptoms of this illness.
One study found that patients taking fish oil showed twice the likelihood to remain in remission as those who took a placebo.
Best to consult with a healthcare practitioner (or your doctor) before starting a fish oil supplementation. Side effects might include; when taking high doses of fish oil, or taking it in combination with blood thinning medication, may lead to bleeding problems.
Probiotics
Also a probiotic supplement might be introduced (to diet)once the symptoms have started to improve (see vitamins, etc.).
Please remember that (in case one were using other prescription medications) it's always a good thing to first consult with a healthcare practitioner (or doctor) before starting any new treatment (either naturopathic or homeopathic doctor, best).
