I ate eggs on toast and it sent me to the hospital to FINALLY be diagnosed with colitis after YEARS of being ignored. YEARS. I was a child having symptoms, it took me going through the most horrible and intense pain I ever felt in my life, throwing up everything including water due to the swelling basically causing blockage. They thought I was faking or something because they had me sit there in pain for so long. The MOMENT I was done being scanned by CT scan was the moment faces changed and people were actually urgent to help me and gave me something to help the swelling and pain. Was finally diagnosed with "left sided colitis" but I'm hoping to be able to afford a Dr later on in life so I can properly get diagnosed and see the full extent of damage as I was ignored for over 20 years.
Cause you know If I have tits and a vagine I apparently cannot have anything physically wrong with me ever at all and if I DO have something "wrong" I'm just pmsing or cramping or stressed or "hysterical". Wtf is this shit notion that I'm a fucking robot or something? Can I not fall physical ill? Can I have nothing wrong with me at all? Am I just not allowed or-?
I’m 17 and first felt this a year ago and was in horrible horrible pain for 5 days…. I got over it without going to the hospital and never thought much if it again. Then 2 days ago September 12 I felt the same pain out of no where I was throwing up everything, couldn’t eat anything ,had extreme abdominal pain And felt like dying. I got a CT scan and they said they think I have colitis and now I’m not sure what to do I’m 17 years old btw.

I was diagnosed with severe colitis. I not longer have any signs of a previous colitic event in my bowels. I went GLUTEN FREE. Gluten causes inflammation of all sorts in the body. Been gluten free for 8 years. Have had no issues for almost that length of time.
@@sylviaemerah994 depends on the person. You have to educate yourself and try different things until you find what works for you. For some people a plant based diet helps, for other FODMAP, other carnivor, etc. I know this doesn’t give you much help but i would start with FODMAP. I have a tailored diet for me, if you want I can share it with you
This is true. I gave up gluten and after four days so much changed in me. My mind was clear. I had so much energy. Since then never sore back and also never itchy skin
Thank you for this. I’ve been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis for nearly 17 years and am struggling with it. This has really helped me understand what I’m experiencing. Thank you :)
As a person of faith, I believe that only God can cure you, but you must everything to fight the illnesses that you have. I had ulcerative colitis for many years and then changed my diet and it truly helped me. In fact I have no symptoms whatsoever now (thank God). If you follow this regimen, it can help you: 1. Don't eat ANY legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts, chocolate, coffee beans, etc. Ever! 2. Don't drink milk or use sweet dairy products, such as cake, ice cream, butter, etc. You can eat cheese and plain yogurt. 3. Don't eat whole wheat or rough grains (avoid roughage...fiber might be healthy for other people but not for you). Eat white bread. 4. Don't eat nuts, but you can eat soft nuts such as walnuts or pistachio in very small quantities with other foods. 5. Don't eat high acid fruits and vegetables such as clementines, raw onions, raw celery, raw garlic, cyan pepper, and red chili powder. If you eat an orange, only eat it after a meal, not before. If you drink orange juice, add little water to make it less acidic. 6. Don't ever use vinegar in your foods or drink it. 7. Don't smoke or drink. Now here's what you should eat which would heal you: 1. Honeydew Melon and Cantaloupe, everyday if you can. 2. Cooked Zucchini and Squash. If you cook it with Cumin Seeds, it's perfect for you and it's delicious! 3. Cucumber juice in summer, if you can tolerate it. 4. White rice mixed with cooked vegetables. White rice with cooked zucchini or squash (see #2 above) is the perfect food for you. You'll feel good the next day. 5. Egg white with pure honey. Avoid yolk that is not fully cooked. 6. This is a hard one but if you can do it it would help a lot: take raw egg white of just one egg. Add equal amount of pure honey. Mix the two together as much as you can. Then drink it first thing thing in the morning or evening in an empty stomach. It actually doesn't taste that bad at all. I was scared in the beginning, but once I tried it, it worked. You can also eat other things, such as meat of course. I try to avoid red meat for other health reasons, but it's not bad. Hamburgers are fine. It takes some discipline to follow this regimen.

I appreciate the author of the video not authoritatively saying a cause is known. It is very counterproductive to finding better treatments for this disease when so many healthcare professionals are causing learned helplessness in UC patients. There is still a lot to be learned, especially about mitochondria, and how metabolites like ROS may be driving inflammation, which correlates closely to stress, and UC amelioration through electron donating reducers like 5-ASA and antioxidants.
You guys always have such fantastic content. And totally relevant for me today - I'm taking my SAGES FES skills exam tomorrow (skills test that all surgeons must pass in order to be credentialed for colonoscopy and upper endoscopy 😊). Rock on, Osmosis crew!

Thank you for your work! This channel is great and should be more popular across students and non-students. I have a question: have you ever done a video on angioflogosis? I'm studying it right now but I can't really grasp it all.
Check out a post I made on this vid, my friend. I had UC for years and the doctors will try to convince you to take your colon out. Don't drink the Kool-aid.
I suffered 5 years with ulcerative colitis nothing work with medication and my colon nearly ruptured resulting in me having all my colon removed 2 weeks later I ended up with necrotising facciitis, having bowel disease is no joke and surgery is also extremely difficult , I wish I had more information when I was younger in terms of diet , exercises etc anyone suffering please modify your diet and behaviours to keep you in remission and if you end up with a stoma don’t feel your life is over sometimes your living condition and pain will be much better than living with severe colitis
I came here to say I've just had my large bowel taken out, stoma on my lower right side. I was always told i had Crohns disease because an MRI showed signs of inflammation in the lower part of my small intestine. My surgeon visited me after the op and told me he thinks i had Colitis rather than Crohn's and that even with Colitis there can be a little bit on inflammation in the lower end of the small intestine. I will try to update when i get a definitive answer
@user-gg5mk6mx8g Thanks for asking, i had forgotten about my original comment. It has been confirmed as colitis. All of my large intestine was inflamed and the final 10 centimetres of my small intestine had scarring from past inflammation. All of my large intestine and the scarred section of small intestine were removed. 2 months post-op and i feel great. The operation has been the best decision I've ever made
Indeed your videos are easy to understand things, but more details could be added to help us medical students too (not only patients) Thank you so much :)
@@bhakthitg3908 I ended up canceling because my mom was like it's just my diet.. even though, I know that it's not. I was just reschedule for after Labor Day weekend.
i also too have this disease, i am on medication to control the inflammation, when I don't take it I have a blood in stool but when on it comes out more solid form but not normal almost like diarrhea. anybody else have similarities?
@@stillleaf4494 Hi there, my father is in the hospital because of this...I haven't a clue the severity yet. I am hoping you see this comment and reply...What medication were you prescribe?
@@sirfitz8125 so since this condition is is an auto immune condition (your own immune system attacks it’s self) generally doctors will give immuno suppressants and anti inflammatory. So for me since it was severe when it was diagnosed they gave me steroids for a few weeks which is a powerful immunosuppressant suppress t and also gave Azathioprine which I believe is slightly weaker. They take you off Steroids and observed me with Azathioprine and also Sulfazalizine which was my anti inflammatory I think but correct me if I am wrong. I think they can also give mezalizine instead of sulfazalizine. I think after another colonoscopy they said they are gonna try and take me off my Azathioprine and just let me stick with mezalizine instead. It seemed that sulfazalizine wasn’t working. And atm I am taking just mezalizine. Hope that helps
Get her to quit all processed foods cut sugar, I've had ulcerative for 18 year's been on pentasa, imuran steroids etc, I started the carnivore diet it has helped me greatly,
Just been diagnosed with UC ( moderate). Anyone who has been suffering from the disease can please share their journey and the diet you've been following, it'll help me a lot. Thanks.
Hi, I was diagnosed with severe UC back in 2019 and struggled for years. A few years later I started juicing celery and cucumber every morning to heal my gut, and it’s made a huge difference. Each morning, I juice half a cucumber with 2-3 stalks of celery and drink a glass for breakfast. I’ve also cut down on fried foods and completely stopped drinking carbonated drinks. Try this juicing routine daily for at least a month-you’ll be amazed by the results. I feel much better now and have been able to reduce my medication significantly. My body is healing itself, and I know others with similar conditions who have benefited from this approach. This is just my personal experience, but it’s worth a try!

This was perfect. It's everything I've Been Told. But the way you showed it makes sense. Whereas before I did not understand it. I was diagnosed for Crohn's at first and that was an error. I am now on the Sulfasalazine. Best med! My rheumatologist said the colon probably cause my lupus. I now have fibromyalgia and RA.
Try making smoothies made with kefir and high antioxidant fruit like blueberries I make my own kefir from kefir grains and add 1 big scoop of frozen blueberries, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in which I had bleeding. After using the kefir for a month two to three times a week it is gone I also agree reducing the amount of gluten and sugar also helps

I just saw some symptoms since yesterday, there's barely any inflammation or bowel pain but i go through unregular pain in my back, blood in diarrhea like stool, mild gum pain and eye inflammation. I haven't contacted any doctors yet but i plan to if this continues. Im 14 right now and it's a little embarrassing to bring this up also because of being the one blamed for having a "a bad diet" by my parents
I’ve had UC for (14) years receiving continuous infusions of Infliximab every 8 weeks (now Vendolizumab ) and Mezevant tabs daily (2-4). l’ve had (3) ‘major’ flare ups and been hospitalized (2 x 10 day stints).
Highly highly i beg u to go by Gond Katira have it during a flare up a ancient Indian medicine (uc is common in india) they all take it there better in 2 days. This is not a add my Indian friend told me to buy it right out of the hospital I was on prednisone and mezavanct after taking gond katira for 2 days I was ok
I had a colonoscopy and the results were normal and 5 months later I was having extreme abdominal pain and all they could find was colitis in the upper right side - I had never been diagnosed with colitis before and I'm 57 - it seemingly appeared out of nowhere 🤔🙄🤔🙄😢😢😢😢
me too! my first colonoscopy was for my constipation and then months later I had blood in my stool everyday and then another conoloscopy determined that I had UC
Thank you for uploading this. I love learning stuff about the human body and the diseases. This one in particular because my boyfriend was diagnosed with it a few years ago so I always like learnng about it.
Same with me!! I always pray for him because he's hurting every day, and I can imagine how much pain that causes! Learning more about it definitely helps to understand what they're going through :') happy to see that you too are interested in knowing this
I just got diagnosed with moderate UC and I don’t know how it came to be? I live a healthy life style and I am not much of a worrier. It was sort of sprung upon me. I have no pain just blood in my stool. I have a couple of follow up appointments to over the next steps.
Your correct..... I'm a Virologist.... Consume probiotics or starve for a while.. MD run to the "it's genetic" answer because it's convenient for them!!
Unfortunately have been having a lot of symptoms of this disease my whole life. Within the last few months it’s happening more and more and the one thing that started to scare my family and I was the skin rashes. Anyone know much about this?

I'm just 24 years ....plz help me plz plz I'm waiting your reply...
Don't know what's going on...first I had acid reflux symptoms and pain in my left side under ribs so I went to the doctor and they said I was quote "stopped up" gave me some miralax and it was fine the first day then the second day I had sever bloating and felt like I was about to pop. I went walking down the block and it felt like something let loose on my left side and abunch of water it felt like "fell" inside me and my whole pelvis area got warm and I quickly got to the bathroom but nothing came out so I layed down and about an hour went by then some diarrhea came out. I felt better for about a day then I took a stool softener and my right side felt like it was about to blow up two hours after and hurt so bad I went back to the doctor then they wanted me to try milk of magnesia and prune juice mixed together then microwaved to get hot then drink and they gave me an antibiotic shot and a course be of oral antibiotics to take, I had another bowel movement the next few days and felt fine and dandy but now it's all comes back, I have migrating bloating in my abdomen switching from left to right and back and forth all day. I'm never comfortable, stressed to the max, and tired as hell. Almost wish I was dead
@@katiea.9155 I'd imagine it's harder for a woman with this disease than it is for a man, I'm not even sure most men realise women even poop until they are married. it's a matter of time until she's talking to him while he's in the shower, he thinks he heard a fart... naw... must have been his feet on the shower floor, suddenly the powerful smell of hot shit is transformed into steam vapor, !!!!

Thank you for this video this explained UC much better than my doctor did. I've been struggling to understand what UC is but this cleared most of up. By the way I'm Hispanic and Spaniard and no one in my entire family has had UC, which is strange because I don't fit any of the categories you said are likely to have UC. I got uc when I was 19 years old which I also think is strange. Still some questions to be answered but I really hope they find a cure for this disease.
@@CTHESI No, not really as bad as it was in the beginning. I’m on remicade which works good for me but I have noticed that when I eat healthier and don’t drink it helps.
I’m going through the same thing just got diagnosed with UC btw I’m also Hispanic spaniard and no history of UC in my family this is all very strange but so far this Illness is very debilitating
I'm black, both parents born in Jamaica and I have Ulcerative Colitis. Like he said there could be a genetic disposition in some people. It means irrespective of the more common groups of people who get it. Interestingly my first cousin (our dad's are brothers) got Crohn's disease at the same age as I got my UC. I ended up having surgery which improved my quality of life so much.
I lost half my colon to this and diverticulitis i worked until i couldnt anymore i applied for ssdi and was denied havent worked in over a year about to lose my lil apt with my kid. Idk what to do!!
This video has left me even more confused, I’ve just been diagnosed at 47 years of age,after 6 years of lots of medication for chronic spinal injury, during this time, I suffered with ailments I have never had. It does not run in my family. I have avoided all my predisposition disorders like diabetes,blood pressure etc. Isn’t it atrange to be diagnosed at this age? I think it is a mixture of chronic stress and the constant constipation from the morphine and codeine?
Chronic stress is me! Constipation is never good; it puts extra stress on the intestines. Constipation should only happen occasionally, for short periods of time, like a day or two. I presume you've seen a doctor?
if you want to fix your colon dont go to doctors. do a five day dry fast. all inflammation will go away. i never tried five day fast but ive managed with much less than five days. but five days fast will definitely do even better than less than five days.
Flare Step 1: Carnivore Diet - until symptoms are gone for a week to ensure additional healing. While doing this make sure you're having water that has no bpa in it, or any tap water at all. When you've healed, you want to add blueberries or something you're tolerant of with very low amounts of Insoluble fiber, you want to have some kefir preferably Coconut. Slowly add one by one other foods such as betroot, carrots, etc. While ensuring you cook them very thoroughly to make them soft and easier to digest. Step 2: Try to get some soluble fibers into your diet one at a time to test your tolerance, and keep moving forward. Long term use of meat consumption has been shown to lead to the disease in the first place, so be mindful carnivore is a tool, and not a long term solution.
Thank you very much, I'm writting a thesis on the effets of Nigella sativa on immune disease, I wanted to write about the ulcerative colite and you saved me a lot of time!
I have UC. Diamond almost 40 years ago. The hardest part of this is others understanding what it does to my mental health. People say get a psychiatrist, your bipolar, attention span is short, etc. Now my child is affected by ME. Gut brain connection is part of it.
Wow my great grandfather died from this. My grandmother (his daughter) had severe gastrointestinal issues till her passing. And now there's ME 😢 😠 trying to find out what MY problem is gastrointestinal fml
It’s kind of disgusting how not once does he mention that cutting out gluten or cutting out lactose or changing your diet to be extremely clean helps they’re only path is to take drugs that may fail to the event when they end up cutting out your colon
@@alessandrotassandin3070that’s not wrong information at all….your diet plays a huge role in how you feel on a day to day basis….you can’t be cured from diet but it will drastically change how you’re feeling every day
This is a lifelong disease. There are treatments to make it manageable but it will not go away. I found out I have this and now I have to do an enema..seems to be working well.
I started using prescription strength toothpaste about a month ago and not long after I started feeling like I was having a flare. Is there a connection to the two? Nothing else in my life is new.
How about rancid food? I seem to poison myself once every 5 years. We get careless with higher food costs. This was what introduces bacteria into our bodies. That can then lodge in those gaps in our intestine, resulting in bleeds.
No most of the time I didn’t actually have pain the doctors said that was unusual but no not all the time there are sometimes when it is worse and of course all the cases can be different some might suffer worse pain more often and so forth
Got diagnosed a few days ago. Currently in hospital. I’m 13 and my birthday is in a few days so hopefully im out by then. I’m in the hospital cause I lost so much blood (specifically hemoglobin) in my stools.
I got a colitis infection in march of 2013 it disrupted my gut flora and now my stomach hasn't been the same i don't think i have ulcerative colitis because my intestines show no inflammation it seems like it threw things off track because i get the symptom's still
100% constipation also flare ups of pain every month or so some flare ups are mild some hurt like hell it has ruined my life and makes work difficult @@Rob-xi1ig
It is not true that U C is a disease to be treated, but is the result of a yet to be discovered inflammatory initiator causing the actual cause. Yes. Symptoms might need treatment but do not actually heal the real causes, of which we have not found. It is a whole body reaction to something yet unknown. No wonder that there are so many ideas to explain the causes and hence remedies which may or may not be useful. I am a retired Medical Doctor. We don't really know what are the real causes as yet folks. Don't fall for every arm chair and You Tube ideas.

I appreciate the author of the video not authoritatively saying a cause is known. It is very counterproductive to finding better treatments for this disease when so many healthcare professionals are causing learned helplessness in UC patients. There is still a lot to be learned, especially about mitochondria, and how metabolites like ROS may be driving inflammation, which correlates closely to stress, and UC amelioration through electron donating reducers like 5-ASA and antioxidants.
Hi Everyone! We've updated this video to add a few sections and clean up the audio.
Didn't know that was possible on TH-cam! :o New feature?
If you have Ulcerative Colitis, test your Vitamin D level, 25(OH)D. You may be deficient in Vitamin D.
You guys always have such fantastic content. And totally relevant for me today - I'm taking my SAGES FES skills exam tomorrow (skills test that all surgeons must pass in order to be credentialed for colonoscopy and upper endoscopy 😊). Rock on, Osmosis crew!
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend recently xD
@Sincere Gerald yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
I am so low and depressed/worried about this as a vegetarian
I will never forget the day i came across Dr Igho TH-cam channel, I will always keep it memorable, thank you doctor for helping me cure my Cancer with your super herbs, because of you, I feel more alive, and advice you too help yourself Also, Dr igho is a Godsent
I've found that turmeric and ginger helps a lot. Force Factor is the brand I use for my flare ups from diverticulitis
Thank you for your work! This channel is great and should be more popular across students and non-students.
I have a question: have you ever done a video on angioflogosis? I'm studying it right now but I can't really grasp it all.
Never stop making videos ... Really valuable... 👍
Should include more histopathological features, as it more diagnostic feature and used to distinguish between crohns
Just got diagnosed with this this week after a colonoscopy on Monday
Check out a post I made on this vid, my friend. I had UC for years and the doctors will try to convince you to take your colon out. Don't drink the Kool-aid.
During my bachelors i loved this online tutot❤
Now after 4 years m here once again
That's awesome! ❤️
I suffered 5 years with ulcerative colitis nothing work with medication and my colon nearly ruptured resulting in me having all my colon removed 2 weeks later I ended up with necrotising facciitis, having bowel disease is no joke and surgery is also extremely difficult , I wish I had more information when I was younger in terms of diet , exercises etc anyone suffering please modify your diet and behaviours to keep you in remission and if you end up with a stoma don’t feel your life is over sometimes your living condition and pain will be much better than living with severe colitis
I came here to say I've just had my large bowel taken out, stoma on my lower right side. I was always told i had Crohns disease because an MRI showed signs of inflammation in the lower part of my small intestine. My surgeon visited me after the op and told me he thinks i had Colitis rather than Crohn's and that even with Colitis there can be a little bit on inflammation in the lower end of the small intestine.
I will try to update when i get a definitive answer
Up to how many centimetres in ileum terminale you had inflammation?
You have pancolitis?
@user-gg5mk6mx8g Thanks for asking, i had forgotten about my original comment.
It has been confirmed as colitis. All of my large intestine was inflamed and the final 10 centimetres of my small intestine had scarring from past inflammation.
All of my large intestine and the scarred section of small intestine were removed.
2 months post-op and i feel great. The operation has been the best decision I've ever made
@@colinbasonDid you suffer from gas problem before diagnosis of this disease.
@aburningdesire I did have bad gas but the worst symptom was the severe gut pain
Indeed your videos are easy to understand things, but more details could be added to help us medical students too (not only patients)
Thank you so much :)
I'm wondering what I have as I have had ongoing diarrhea for well over 2 years..I FINALLY have a gastro consult on 8/23/2024.. praying for an answer
What did they say
@@bhakthitg3908 I ended up canceling because my mom was like it's just my diet.. even though, I know that it's not. I was just reschedule for after Labor Day weekend.
I am lucky that I only have ulcerative colitis. Crohns seems worse. And I am blessed that it isn’t as bad as other people’s ulcerative colitis
Which symptoms you are facing
@@mehwishbatool7843 Blood in stool and stomach pain. Generally my medication keeps it in check.
i also too have this disease, i am on medication to control the inflammation, when I don't take it I have a blood in stool but when on it comes out more solid form but not normal almost like diarrhea. anybody else have similarities?
@@stillleaf4494 Hi there, my father is in the hospital because of this...I haven't a clue the severity yet. I am hoping you see this comment and reply...What medication were you prescribe?
@@sirfitz8125 so since this condition is is an auto immune condition (your own immune system attacks it’s self) generally doctors will give immuno suppressants and anti inflammatory. So for me since it was severe when it was diagnosed they gave me steroids for a few weeks which is a powerful immunosuppressant suppress t and also gave Azathioprine which I believe is slightly weaker. They take you off Steroids and observed me with Azathioprine and also Sulfazalizine which was my anti inflammatory I think but correct me if I am wrong. I think they can also give mezalizine instead of sulfazalizine. I think after another colonoscopy they said they are gonna try and take me off my Azathioprine and just let me stick with mezalizine instead. It seemed that sulfazalizine wasn’t working. And atm I am taking just mezalizine. Hope that helps

Get her to quit all processed foods cut sugar, I've had ulcerative for 18 year's been on pentasa, imuran steroids etc, I started the carnivore diet it has helped me greatly,
i have an exam tomorrow which includes this and CD! Thank you so much for making it seem so simple!
Just been diagnosed with UC ( moderate). Anyone who has been suffering from the disease can please share their journey and the diet you've been following, it'll help me a lot. Thanks.
white bread/rice/pasta/bagels. mix veg chicken salt. plant based butter,cheese. melons. depends person to person you need to listen to your body
@@nameless2000-j9w thanks mate. So eating refined flour is fine?
Carnivore diet will fix UC 100%
Hi, I was diagnosed with severe UC back in 2019 and struggled for years. A few years later I started juicing celery and cucumber every morning to heal my gut, and it’s made a huge difference. Each morning, I juice half a cucumber with 2-3 stalks of celery and drink a glass for breakfast. I’ve also cut down on fried foods and completely stopped drinking carbonated drinks.
Try this juicing routine daily for at least a month-you’ll be amazed by the results. I feel much better now and have been able to reduce my medication significantly. My body is healing itself, and I know others with similar conditions who have benefited from this approach. This is just my personal experience, but it’s worth a try!

Glad it was helpful! 💖
Thank you for the video, I have exam next week, you explained it clearly.
This was perfect. It's everything I've Been Told. But the way you showed it makes sense. Whereas before I did not understand it. I was diagnosed for Crohn's at first and that was an error. I am now on the Sulfasalazine. Best med! My rheumatologist said the colon probably cause my lupus. I now have fibromyalgia and RA.
Fibromyalgia seems awful too. Do you suffer from anxiety with it?
I just have Ulcerative Colitis which is bad enough.
This is caused by the processed foods we eat.
Try making smoothies made with kefir and high antioxidant fruit like blueberries
I make my own kefir from kefir grains and add 1 big scoop of frozen blueberries, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in which I had bleeding. After using the kefir for a month two to three times a week it is gone
I also agree reducing the amount of gluten and sugar also helps
It will be a year in January that I was diagnosed with UC after my first colonoscopy!

I just saw some symptoms since yesterday, there's barely any inflammation or bowel pain but i go through unregular pain in my back, blood in diarrhea like stool, mild gum pain and eye inflammation. I haven't contacted any doctors yet but i plan to if this continues. Im 14 right now and it's a little embarrassing to bring this up also because of being the one blamed for having a "a bad diet" by my parents
I’ve had UC for (14) years receiving continuous infusions of Infliximab every 8 weeks (now Vendolizumab ) and Mezevant tabs daily (2-4). l’ve had (3) ‘major’ flare ups and been hospitalized (2 x 10 day stints).
Highly highly i beg u to go by Gond Katira have it during a flare up a ancient Indian medicine (uc is common in india) they all take it there better in 2 days. This is not a add my Indian friend told me to buy it right out of the hospital I was on prednisone and mezavanct after taking gond katira for 2 days I was ok
If u do take it it’s pretty cheap take 5-6 seeds and dip in small container till it expands and mix with glass of water and drink
U will 100% get better

@@jaytbutt1650hey bro is this actually true because I have severe ulcerative colitis aswell
I had a colonoscopy and the results were normal and 5 months later I was having extreme abdominal pain and all they could find was colitis in the upper right side - I had never been diagnosed with colitis before and I'm 57 - it seemingly appeared out of nowhere 🤔🙄🤔🙄😢😢😢😢
Yup me too I was ok after taking some medicine and 6 months later my symptoms got worse and I'm only 16
me too! my first colonoscopy was for my constipation and then months later I had blood in my stool everyday and then another conoloscopy determined that I had UC
Thank you for uploading this. I love learning stuff about the human body and the diseases. This one in particular because my boyfriend was diagnosed with it a few years ago so I always like learnng about it.
Same with me!! I always pray for him because he's hurting every day, and I can imagine how much pain that causes! Learning more about it definitely helps to understand what they're going through :') happy to see that you too are interested in knowing this

Thank you for sharing this info. I was diagnosed with UC just last year of june and it's pretty hard to deal with.
Shadow Realm24 ruined my life brother... Good luck to ya.
Don't know what's going on...first I had acid reflux symptoms and pain in my left side under ribs so I went to the doctor and they said I was quote "stopped up" gave me some miralax and it was fine the first day then the second day I had sever bloating and felt like I was about to pop. I went walking down the block and it felt like something let loose on my left side and abunch of water it felt like "fell" inside me and my whole pelvis area got warm and I quickly got to the bathroom but nothing came out so I layed down and about an hour went by then some diarrhea came out. I felt better for about a day then I took a stool softener and my right side felt like it was about to blow up two hours after and hurt so bad I went back to the doctor then they wanted me to try milk of magnesia and prune juice mixed together then microwaved to get hot then drink and they gave me an antibiotic shot and a course be of oral antibiotics to take, I had another bowel movement the next few days and felt fine and dandy but now it's all comes back, I have migrating bloating in my abdomen switching from left to right and back and forth all day. I'm never comfortable, stressed to the max, and tired as hell. Almost wish I was dead

Plz one video for "GERD". ..
Always here to get idea of topics... U rock omosis !!
Thank you for this video this explained UC much better than my doctor did. I've been struggling to understand what UC is but this cleared most of up. By the way I'm Hispanic and Spaniard and no one in my entire family has had UC, which is strange because I don't fit any of the categories you said are likely to have UC. I got uc when I was 19 years old which I also think is strange. Still some questions to be answered but I really hope they find a cure for this disease.
Have you had any reoccurring issues since?
@@CTHESI No, not really as bad as it was in the beginning. I’m on remicade which works good for me but I have noticed that when I eat healthier and don’t drink it helps.
I’m going through the same thing just got diagnosed with UC btw I’m also Hispanic spaniard and no history of UC in my family this is all very strange but so far this Illness is very debilitating
I'm black, both parents born in Jamaica and I have Ulcerative Colitis. Like he said there could be a genetic disposition in some people. It means irrespective of the more common groups of people who get it.
Interestingly my first cousin (our dad's are brothers) got Crohn's disease at the same age as I got my UC.
I ended up having surgery which improved my quality of life so much.
Thankyou for simplifying these topics
Glad you like them, Samra! ❤️
If patients show a higher percentage of sulfides which lead to inflammation... Why do they treat the illness with sulfer drugs like sulfasalazine?
to keep you sick and keep selling medication? nah i dunno

Eat real food no processed foods no sugar

This video has left me even more confused, I’ve just been diagnosed at 47 years of age,after 6 years of lots of medication for chronic spinal injury, during this time, I suffered with ailments I have never had. It does not run in my family. I have avoided all my predisposition disorders like diabetes,blood pressure etc.
Isn’t it atrange to be diagnosed at this age? I think it is a mixture of chronic stress and the constant constipation from the morphine and codeine?
Chronic stress is me! Constipation is never good; it puts extra stress on the intestines. Constipation should only happen occasionally, for short periods of time, like a day or two. I presume you've seen a doctor?
excellent info clear and concise.
Thank you! 💕
Good video! which are the sources?
if you want to fix your colon dont go to doctors.
do a five day dry fast.
all inflammation will go away.
i never tried five day fast but ive managed with much less than five days.
but five days fast will definitely do even better than less than five days.
A dry fast?? So no water ???
Flare
Step 1: Carnivore Diet - until symptoms are gone for a week to ensure additional healing. While doing this make sure you're having water that has no bpa in it, or any tap water at all. When you've healed, you want to add blueberries or something you're tolerant of with very low amounts of Insoluble fiber, you want to have some kefir preferably Coconut. Slowly add one by one other foods such as betroot, carrots, etc. While ensuring you cook them very thoroughly to make them soft and easier to digest.
Step 2: Try to get some soluble fibers into your diet one at a time to test your tolerance, and keep moving forward. Long term use of meat consumption has been shown to lead to the disease in the first place, so be mindful carnivore is a tool, and not a long term solution.

My baby is just 4 months and he is suffering from chronic active colitis. Will there be a permanent recovery for this problem?
This is a lifelong disease. There are treatments to make it manageable but it will not go away. I found out I have this and now I have to do an enema..seems to be working well.
If he was vaccinated it's probably caused from that. I got it after the hpv vax

I started using prescription strength toothpaste about a month ago and not long after I started feeling like I was having a flare. Is there a connection to the two? Nothing else in my life is new.
How about rancid food? I seem to poison myself once every 5 years. We get careless with higher food costs. This was what introduces bacteria into our bodies. That can then lodge in those gaps in our intestine, resulting in bleeds.
Do people with ulcerative colitis have abdominal pain all the time?
No most of the time I didn’t actually have pain the doctors said that was unusual but no not all the time there are sometimes when it is worse and of course all the cases can be different some might suffer worse pain more often and so forth

It is not true that U C is a disease to be treated, but is the result of a yet to be discovered inflammatory initiator causing the actual cause. Yes. Symptoms might need treatment but do not actually heal the real causes, of which we have not found. It is a whole body reaction to something yet unknown. No wonder that there are so many ideas to explain the causes and hence remedies which may or may not be useful. I am a retired Medical Doctor. We don't really know what are the real causes as yet folks. Don't fall for every arm chair and You Tube ideas.
