You definitely would want to work with a doctor on this one, particularly since there are tests that can be done to analyze the state of the problem. It can be like an auto immune disease that flares up periodically and may be inherited. One thing that may help in the short term is eating bland foods in small amounts. Avoid soda and caffeine as well as processed foods.
FIrst off, there is no "right" treatment. I have had this disease of the colon since I was 13..I am now 30. I have had some of my LI removed due to pylups,ulcers,lacerations and ruptures and my colon health has not improved. The best suggestion that I can give you is to watch what and when you eat, make sure the foods that you do decide to eat are prepared in a manner that is suitable for your stomach i.e. no fried foods or in very small amounts..something that I can not stess more: chew,chew,chew!!!. Watch your grease,salt,and fatty acid intake..what they say about a bag of chips is true! That bag of Fritos on Thursday will come back to haunt you 2 weeks later! No matter how short that lunch break is make sure that you have chewed your food into almost nothing, do not swallow mouthfuls of food because that is the same way that your stomach and colon will get it:a rock of food to digest. I try to eat a few small meals throughout the day..gotta have some type of fruit or ruffage in their to helppush that stuff along. Something that helps me is taking fiber daily. It helps to regulate my colon and makes bowl movements less painful. Do not eat and recline!!!! That is a major factor! It may be hard..I don't know your schedule but I do not eat after 8pm. Eating and laying down impedes your body's natural process to processing your food. Last but not least (this will be the hardest to do), try to control your stress or better yet: learn to control the way you deal with stress. My ulcer/stomach is the first thing to go when I let things get next to me. Indigestion turns into blood in my stool and bile..not cool. So I take a couple of slow,deep breaths..concentrate on what I am stressing on and find a humorous way to get over it. Laughter works!!! Okay..I say this with a grain of salt...find a good endocrinologist. Doctors are not healers, they study medicine and practice how it may be beneficial or detrimental to our body and mind's health..but their knowledge and equipment helps!!! You know your body better than anyone else ever will..do what is safe for you..and when Thanksgiving cvmes around...just say no! Have a great day!!! hopes some of this helps!!

There are a number of treatments for colitis. Which one is used for a particular patient depends upon the cause and severity of the colitis, but many treatments focus on managing symptoms. Dehydration and pain are common symptoms that can be treated with over-the-counter medications, though some cases warrant IV fluids and prescription pain pills. If colitis is caused by an infection, antibiotics are often used. For ischemic colitis, surgery is often necessary.
If you have ulcerative colitis drinking a lot of water will help. Also, eat a high fiber diet like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals and bread. It is important to avoid laxatives.

Infusion therapy is an IV treatment, such as the medication Remicade. I have been on IV therapy for the last 6 months for ulcerative colitis. It is supposed to put UC patients into remission with only a few treatments. There are no side effects from this medication. Treatments are every 8 weeks after the initial few every couple of weeks. It is not a cure, just a medication to reduce symptoms. Best of luck to you!
