It is estimated that as many as 1.4 million persons in the United States suffer from Chrohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Both of these conditions are classified under a broader category called Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Can milk cause Ulcerative Colitis?
The lactose in milk can irritate the symptoms of ulcerative colitis, but generally lactose is not believed to be a central CAUSE of ulcerative colitis. However, "fermented milk" - yogurt - may be beneficial because it contains the bacteria that digest lactose for us. These bacteria should be present in our colon, but as we age they often die out, often by the time we are 15 or 20 yrs. old. Eating yogurt [or other fermented foods] will replenish our gut with these beneficial bacteria and they have already digested most of the lactose in the yogurt.
Is colitis hereditary?
Yes and no. The cause of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases are multifactorial, and still under investigation. Crohn's shows a greater familial concordance than ulcerative colitis, and certain genes are of interest that have been shown to exist more frequently within IBD sufferers than non-sufferers, but it is likely an interplay of enviromental factors with these genes of interest that predispose's one to either Crohn's or UC. Environmental triggers of interest are: western lifestyle, excesive hygiene, inadequate vitamin d production, antibiotic use, early life consumption of refrigerated products, accutane... I have 3 sibling with ulcerative colitis, and now I have been diagnosed with it. Recent research has pinpointed a genetic mutation in some families. Normal people (people without the disease) have a colon that releases a protective coating during times of stress. Those with the mutated gene have colons that do not release the protection. It's still a hypothesis from what I understand, but it sounds pretty logical to me. Each of us were diagnosed with the disease after times of extreme stress in our lives.
