Ulcerative colitis has a safe long term treatment.

Let me state up front that I am not recommending that you go off any of your existing treatment.

What I am talking about is another treatment which you can add to your existing treatment. This is a treatment almost no doctor will offer, yet it is so beneficial

And it will not harm, unlike conventional medicine.

We all agree that Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease. Conventional medicine tries to suppress the immune system, we try to correct the immune system.

Very briefly, our immune system has 2 parts

• an inflammatory response
• a regulatory response

The inflammatory response is controlled by the body and occurs when the body is irritated by something eg a virus, bacteria or a chemical. A good thing in the beginning, bad if it does not stop, an autoimmune disease

The regulatory response shuts down the inflammatory response. This is controlled by the bacteria in the gut. So if you gut probiotics are not there for some reason you will get an autoimmune disease.

As an observation, people with autoimmune diseases often have multiple types, all due to the same cause.

I am suggesting that instead of suppressing the immune system, we should be ensuring that the second step, regulatory response, takes place.

We do this by taking a probiotic, such as Noster ProBiotics

My advice is to take whatever drugs you are taking now but add in a probiotic. As you feel better you can reduce your daily drugs until there is a balance between the disease and the drugs.

You should inform your doctor what you are doing, but be aware that doctors are generally not great fans of probiotics.
