Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation of the large intestine (colon). The colon is the part of the digestive system where waste material is stored. The rectum is the end of the colon adjacent to the anus. In patients with ulcerative colitis, ulcers and inflammation of the inner lining of the colon lead to symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea , and rectal bleeding. Ulcerative colitis is closely related to another condition of inflammation of the intestines called Crohn's disease. Together, they are frequently referred to as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's diseases are chronic conditions that can last years to decades. They affect approximately 500,000 to 2 million people In the United States. Men and women are affected equally. They most commonly begin during adolescence and early adulthood, but they also can begin during childhood and later in life.

22. Triumph Over Disease ( Ulcerative Colitis ) By Fasting A personal story of a young man who, though receiving treatment for ulcerative colitis, was approaching death. He fasted for over 40 days and recovered health and enjoyment of life. By Dr. Jack Goldstein. http://www.geocities.com/fastinguc

Triumph Over Disease by Fasting And Natural Diet Dr. Jack Goldstein (D. P. M.) Arco Publishing Company, Inc. New York Published by Arco Publishing Company, Inc. 219 Park Avenue South, New York, N.Y. 10003 Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data Goldstein, Jack. Triumph over disease-by fasting and natural diet. Bibliography: p. 237 1. Ulcerative colitis-Biography. 2. Fasting. 3. Vegetarianism 4. Goldstein, Jack I. . ISBN 0-668-04138-2 (Library Edition) Here is the inspiring, controversial, true story of a man who was treated medically for six years for a debilitating disease, ulcerative colitis , which under standard medical care by qualified and respected physicians progressed to a point close to death. In the course of his six-year ordeal, Dr. Goldstein changed from a happy, successful, and confident man with everything to live for to a wasted, drug infected, despairing man whose only hope, he was told, lay in agreeing to submit to one of the most radical and drastic operations known to medical sciencea total colectomy, or complete removal of the large intestine and rectum. For the rest of his life he would be forced to wear a bag attached to his abdomen for the collection and elimination of waste. At this point, tortured by the thought of becoming a physiologic cripple and even contemplating suicide, he was led to a natural way of life which incorporated fasting and a vegetarian diet that actually allowed his body to heal itself. Dr. Goldstein gives a detailed account of a six-week fast he undertook in a controlled environment and under the supervision of a doctorwhich literally saved his life. He also records the day by-day physical and mental changes, which occurred, and describes his new way of life based on the principles of natural diet.

Educational Brochures Introduction to Ulcerative Colitis Will I be able to work, travel, and exercise? Should I be on a special diet? How will other people react to my illness? Could my medications have side effects? How will ulcerative colitis change my life? What is Ulcerative Colitis? The inflammation usually begins in the rectum and lower colon, but it may also involve the entire colon. When ulcerative colitis affects only the lowest part of the colon the rectum it is called ulcerative proctitis. If the disease affects only the left side of the colon, it is called limited or distal colitis. If it involves the entire colon, it is termed pancolitis. Ulcerative colitis differs from another inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease. Crohn's can affect any area of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the small intestine and colon. Ulcerative colitis, on the other hand, affects only the colon. The inflammation involves the entire rectum and extends up the colon in a continuous manner. There are no areas of normal intestine between the areas of diseased intestine. In contrast, such so-called "skip" areas may occur in Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis affects only the innermost lining of the colon, whereas Crohn's disease can affect the entire thickness of the bowel wall. Neither ulcerative colitis nor Crohn's disease should be confused with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder that affects the motility (muscle contractions) of the colon. Sometimes called "spastic colon,"+or "nervous colitis" IBS is not characterized by intestinal inflammation. It is, therefore, a much less serious disease than ulcerative colitis. IBS bears no direct relationship to either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

Ulcerative colitis From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia. Diagram of the Human Intestine Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the bowel, that usually affects the distal end of the large intestine and rectum . It has no known cause, although there is a genetic component to susceptibility. Ulcerative colitis is similar to Crohn's disease , but there are characteristic differences: ulcerative colitis is usually confined to the mucosa and submucosa , and affects whole areas of intestine. (Crohn's disease tends to be patchy, and affect more layers of intestine.) Table of contents 1 Features 2 Cause 3 Diagnosis 4 Course ... edit Features diarrhea No infective cause of diarrhea found. Inflammatory changes are mainly left sided or in the distal large bowel. Disease variable in severity from patient to patient and time to time. Significant risk of carcinoma after 10 years, which may in some cases require frequent surveillance biopsies or even prophylactic bowel removal. Patients may have other auto-immune features. edit Cause The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown, although infective agents have been suspected, and there is a genetic component to susceptibility.

Your browser does not support script Inflammatory Bowel Disease What are Inflammatory Bowel Diseases? These are disorders where the bowel becomes red and inflamed. In ulcerative colitis the lining of the large bowel is involved. In Crohn's disease (named after an American physician) any part of the digestive tract can be affected and the full thickness of the bowel wall can become inflamed. Crohn's disease, when it affects the colon, and ulcerative colitis are similar so it is sometimes hard to tell which one a patient has. What is the cause of Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease? The cause or causes are not known. It is possible that affected people have an abnormal defense mechanism against the bacteria which are normally present in the gut. A long-term reaction to a particular bacterium or virus may be important. People in some families are more susceptible than in others, but the chance of passing this tendency on to children is small.
