1 Answer

Managing ulcerative colitis (UC) often includes a combination of medication, diet, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce inflammation and maintain remission. Anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, or biologics can be prescribed to control flare-ups, and fiber intake adjustments can help ease digestive symptoms. Hydration is key, especially during flare-ups, and stress management through techniques like yoga or meditation can positively impact UC. While some foods, like dairy or high-fat foods, can trigger symptoms, keeping a food diary may help identify personal triggers.

We encourage you to visit the clinic to discuss a personalized management plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
