If you suffer from Ulcerative Colitis or know someone that does, be sure to read and share this article we’ve just prepared for you.
Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and it consists of a group of diseases that affect your gastrointestinal tract. The worst part of this disease is that it can increase your risk of colon cancer over time.
Ulcerative Colitis affects people of all ages and all ethnicities; however it’s most common in people between 15 and 35 years of age and mostly among Caucasians. Also, a small increase is seen in men past the age of 50.
Most people with Ulcerative Colitis don’t have a family history of this condition, but you’re more likely to develop it if a parent or sibling already has it.
Ulcerative Colitis occurs when the lining of your large intestine (also called the colon), rectum, or both become inflamed. This inflammation causes your bowel to move its contents very quickly and empty frequently. This produces very small sores (ulcers) on the lining of your colon, which can cause bleeding and can discharge pus and mucus.
Most of the times the inflammation begins in the rectum and spreads upward, but it can affect your entire colon.
If you are wondering what causes this disease, well, there’s not a clear answer unfortunately, but studies and researchers agree that the immune system undergoes an abnormal response to the colon. Things like the environment, your immune system and genes can contribute to this disease.
About 50 percent of people diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis have mild symptoms. However, symptoms can be severe and include:
- abdominal pain
- rectal pain
- increased abdominal sounds
- fever
- Frequent loose bowel movements
- bloody stools
- malnutrition and
- weight loss
Additional symptoms include:
- joint pain and/or swelling
- skin problems, such as mouth sores
- eye inflammation
- nausea
- decreased appetite
As we mentioned in the beginning, the longer you have this disease, the higher your risk of colon cancer- that’s why it’s so important to do regular screening to help lower the risk. Your doctor will perform a colonoscopy and check for cancer when you receive your diagnosis. You should repeat screenings every one to three years or as your doctor recommends. Other tests to diagnose Ulcerative Colitis include: Blood Test, Stool test, endoscopy, CT scan and Biopsy.
Since Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic condition, treatment involves drug therapy or surgery most of the times, to reduce the inflammation. Your doctor may prescribe a medication to reduce the inflammation or swelling which will help alleviate many of your symptoms.
If you have a severe case, you may need antibiotics, corticosteroids, medications that suppress immune functions to help block inflammation in a totally different way.
You may also need to be hospitalized to correct dehydration effects and loss of electrolytes that the large amount of bowel movements causes and to treat any complications if any.
When there is massive bleeding, perforation of your colon or a severe blockage, chronic and debilitating symptoms, your doctor may order surgery if necessary.
Surgery often involves removing your entire colon and it also involves creating a new pathway for waste. This pathway can be out through a small opening in your abdominal wall. Sometimes it can also be redirected back through the end of your rectum.
If waste is able to be redirected through your rectum, the surgeon will remove the afflicted part of your colon and rectum, but will retain your rectum’s outer muscles. Then, the surgeon will attach your small intestine to the rectum to form a small pouch. After the surgery, you’ll be able to pass stool through your rectum. Keep in mind, bowel movements will be more frequent and watery than usual.
The following can help prevent Ulcerative Colitis:
- avoid eating fatty foods
- drinking small amounts of water and eating smaller meal portions throughout the day
- lowering your intake of milk if you’re lactose intolerant
- limiting your consumption of high-fiber foods
Many people aren’t happy with the results and/or side effects that come with the prescribed medications and strive to find another more successful approach. A healthier option is an all-natural product called Digestinol. This product contains an extremely potent strain of nutrients from the Aloe plant, that have been refined into a powder to prevent any side effects and focus on the main cause of the inflammation and discomfort in your body.
What is Digestinol?
Our product contains AMP (Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides) which is an all-natural molecule found in the aloe vera plant. It is known to enhance the body’s immune system due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. We have a 97-98% success rate reported from people who take Digestinol as directed for 90 days or longer.
If you are not interested in prescription medications to treat your condition and prefer a more natural approach, Digestinol makes all-natural capsules that contain a very specific form of Aloe Polysaccharides to target the inflammation along your digestive tract.
These capsules also provide your body with the nutrients that it is lacking in order to take back control of itself. Digestinol isn’t just Aloe Vera powder, Aloe Vera (contains Aloin) which irritates your digestive system and can cause diarrhea. Digestinol undertakes very specific additional steps in order to remove the Aloin during their extraction process to focus on only the beneficial portions of the Aloe Leaf, the long chain Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide molecules.
Since Digestinol is 100% all-natural it doesn’t bring along the side effects that other chemically based prescription medications have. We tell our customers to think of Digestinol as an all-natural digestive system specific vitamin that reduces inflammation and provides your body with specific nutrients that allow it to take back control of itself.
Our Digestinol capsules will also help to balance the good and bad bacteria levels in your body allowing it to regain control of its normal operations.
