What are the symptoms of ulcerative colitis? How is ulcerative colitis diagnosed? What is the treatment for ulcerative colitis? ... For More Information Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation and sores, called ulcers, in the lining of the large intestine. The inflammation usually occurs in the rectum and lower part of the colon, but it may affect the entire colon. Ulcerative colitis rarely affects the small intestine except for the end section, called the terminal ileum. Ulcerative colitis may also be called colitis or proctitis. The inflammation makes the colon empty frequently, causing diarrhea. Ulcers form in places where the inflammation has killed the cells lining the colon; the ulcers bleed and produce pus. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the general name for diseases that cause inflammation in the small intestine and colon. Ulcerative colitis can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to other intestinal disorders and to another type of IBD called Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease differs from ulcerative colitis because it causes inflammation deeper within the intestinal wall. Also, Crohn's disease usually occurs in the small intestine, although it can also occur in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, large intestine, appendix, and anus. Ulcerative colitis may occur in people of any age, but most often it starts between ages 15 and 30, or less frequently between ages 50 and 70. Children and adolescents sometimes develop the disease. Ulcerative colitis affects men and women equally and appears to run in some families.

Home Jackson Gastro Patient Education Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, recurring disease of the large bowel. The large bowel (colon) is the 5 to 6 foot segment of intestine that begins in the right-lower abdomen, extends upward and then across to the left side, and downward to the rectum. It dehydrates the liquid stool that enters it and stores the formed stool until a bowel movement occurs. When ulcerative colitis affects the colon, inflammation and ulcers, or sores, form in the lining of the colon. The disease may involve the entire colon (pancolitis), only the rectum (ulcerative proctitis) or, more commonly, some area between the two. Causes The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown. Some experts believe there may be a defect in the immune system in which the body's antibodies actually injure the colon. Others speculate that an unidentified microorganism or germ is responsible for the disease. It is probable that a combination of factors, including heredity, may be involved in the cause.

19. Crohn's Disease And Ulcerative Colitis Crohn s Disease and ulcerative colitis. by Ronald Hoffman, MD. Crohn s Diseaseand ulcerative colitis are the two most severe digestive afflictions. http://www.consciouschoice.com/holisticmd/hmd085.html

Home Health Holistic M.D. Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis by Ronald Hoffman, M.D. Conscious Choice, September 1995 Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are the two most severe digestive afflictions. They cause life impairing symptoms, necessitate long-term dependence on powerful drugs, and often result in debilitating surgery and even death. Tens of thousands of Americans are affected. Both diseases are classified under the medical rubric of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The incidence of IBD has risen with the tide of civilization. Once thought of as a psychosomatic illness arising in individuals with "passive personalities with a tendency to suppress personal conflicts," the cause of IBD remains elusive. One theory holds that modern measles virus, improperly cleared from the body, results in low grade, chronic inflammation of the intestinal lymphoid tissue; other hypotheses posit a relationship to contemporary diet. Indeed intake of sugar and "junk food" has been correlated in many studies with susceptibility to both forms of IBD. Some researches have even suggested that the abrasive "polishers" found in modern toothpastes set up inflammatory reactions in the gut. A higher incidence of IBD has even been reported after tonsillectomy. Oral contraceptive users also have an increased risk. The most common early symptoms of ulcerative colitis are constipation with passage of blood or mucus in the stools. The patient may have the urge to defecate with only a scanty bowel movement. Several months or years may pass before diarrhea develops with abdominal pain. The patient may then develop severe fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, fever and occasionally painful joints.

This web site was created for FREE at www.homestead.com. Visit www.homestead.com to get your free web site - no programming required. Javascript is either disabled or not supported by this browser. This page may not appear properly. Hello and welcome to Pam's home page. This is my first attempt at doing this, so I hope everyone is patient. Thanks in advance! I grew up in a very small town; Philippi West-by-gosh-Virginia Almost Heaven . I also use to spend a lot of time in Elkins , West Virgina, which is home of the Forest Festival. I am an avid Mickey Mouse fan and collector along with collecting angels, anything to do with the 'Iris' flower Coca-Cola. The main reason for wanting to do this page is the fact that I have a permanent ileostomy, but I wear NO appliance! I suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for a very long time and was not able to be diagnosed until I needed emergency surgery. In July of 1996, I had to have a complete (non-reversible) permant ileostomy. A friend found an article about being able to live a life being appliance free. This lead me to further research on this surgery BCIR . Within three months I started experencing difficulties with my ileostomy. In July of 1997, I went to St. Petersburg, FL and had this wonderful surgery performed. I now live an appliance free life and am so thankful for the friends and family that stood behind me in this difficult time that I experienced. I would like to also thank Dr. Pollack and his wonderful staff in giving me back a life I thouht was never possible.
