Colitis

The rectum. And you can tell it comes first by just looking at a model of the digestive system. The anus is at the tip of your rectum, so the rectum would come first, and the anus would come last. :) :) :) :)
The rectum comes first. The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine in some mammals, and the gut in others, terminating in the anus.

Eating with ulcerative colitis should be based on a well-balanced diet that's high in protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, and good fats. Such a diet will provide you with energy and keep you well. Your diet may include meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products (if you don't have lactose intolerance); breads and cereals; fruits and vegetables; and margarine and oils.

Your quality of life is expected to drop a lot more than the quantity of it. However, I do know that approximately 5/10 people who have this disease die earlier than their counterparts.

Source : I suffer from it and even my father had it. I know quite a lot about it.

No, colitis is an inflammation in the large intestine and proctitis is an infection in the actual rectum. Basically, colitis is inflammation up higher and proctitis is inflammation down lower.

Suppositories are normally smooth, bullet shaped pills made of a substance that becomes liquid or dissolves when exposed to the internal temperature and environment of the rectum and colon. They are used as a drug delivery system for systemically or locally acting medications. A suppository may be employed when the drug being delivered has the tendency to cause stomach upset (such as Voltaren), or if the patient is experiencing intractible vomiting. The suppository is deployed by gently pushing it through the anus, into the rectum. This may be facilitated by using an exam glove or finger cot. Extra lubrication is rarely needed due to the nature of the medium used, but if needed, it should be water-soluble.

There are no dietary restrictions for colitis. Avoidance of milk and diary products and highly spiced food can sometimes help some patients with colitis.

a family member was diagnosed with this illness. the gi dr. stated that this was contagious via fecal and/or oral route can taking only one round of antibiotics cause you to have pseudomembranous colitis

Ulcerative colitis can be a horrible disease to have, but there are things that you can eat to help the situation. www.webmd.com/ibd-crohns-disease/���ulcerative-colitis/���creating-an-ulcerative-colitis-plan

Ulcerative colitis will not affect catching HPV; it is very contagious and nearly all that are exposed to the virus catch HPV.

The technically correct answer is Yes, this being death from complications of surgery to remove the colon, which sometimes becomes necessary in cases refractive to drug treatment. If, say, 20% of UC cases are ultimately refractive to treatment and the death rate from the surgery is 5%, that means the death rate from UC is 1%. So at the time of initial diagnosis chances are about 99% you will ultimately die of something else.

I actually suffer from the disease, and have done for about 15 years untreated. Now i would say these days, it's highly unlikely that you would die from Colitis. If you have regular bowel exams, say every 2 years, to check for signs of pre-cancerous changes, you should be able to live a pretty normal life. there are many treatments available to control colitis, many different diets to try. In fact the risk of cancer i think is increased 5 fold if you have the disease, which in the big scheme of things is not that high. I read somewhere that actually 95% of people with colitis do no develop cancer. Keep a positive attitude towards life and don't let the disease control you.

I was diagnosed in 04' with ulcerative colits after about 8 months of misdiagnosis. By the time I was correctly diagnosed I had to be hospitalized because my white blood cells were ten times what they were supposed to be and so high that even cancer patients have lower white cells than I did at the time. I almost died from this disease. I had been given so many different types of treatment from steroids all the way to remission medicine they give people with cancer. nothing would help I was wasting away. I was in the hospital for almost a month when the gastro doc finally consulted with a surgeon and he told me my only option was a total colectomy or I wouldn't last another week. That night they did surgery and removed my entire large intestines. I had a iliostomy bag for 6 months until they did the J pouch surgery.

Many different medications can be used to treat Colitis. Doctors will prescribe Anti-Inflammatory drugs, along with Immune System Suppressors, and sometimes just the common antibiotic.

No, if you are incontinent of stool, you get diapers. If you have a colostomy or jejunostomy, you have a collection bag that adheres to your body to collect feces.

No. Ulcerative colitis patients have generally higher white blood cells.

There is currently no cure for Crohn's, but it is treatable. See the related link for more information.

Actually it is but most Doctors do not have the answer other than giving you crap meds...I beat it and have not had a relaspe in 20 years!...First take natural vitamin E...that's the d-alpha...then get a high quality multi-vitamin mineral supplement...then get ester C ...the C and E should be 1000 milligrams twice a day!....Also the same with the multi twice a day) that's for starters....then pray to the good Lord ...laugh now but it worked for me!...and by the good Lord I mean Jesus not anything else....going on drink 2 quarts of fresh water a day if not more I always have a container of water with me....Since I have been healed since 1990 I can eat the 'hottest' hot sauces on the planet eat anything I want and drink any alcohol I want!......so if you don't believe me move on .....just saying I know....and am living proof....if you say will that work for me?...take it to the bank!...Thx MIke

There are quite a number of foods that can aggravate ulcerative colitis, including: chocolate, beans, spicy foods, fats, and artificial sweeteners. Also be sure to cook all you foods, as eating things raw can be bad.

Not necessarily -- anal intercourse can transmit HIV just like vaginal sex. Your boyfriends should ALWAYS use condoms. Please!

Actually, it is just as safe and runs no greater risk of transmitting HIV than letting him ejaculate in your vaginal cavity. It may not run a greater risk than that but the point is you should always use a condom.

You get colon cancer when a polyp in your large intestine turns into cancer. Indications exist that a diet high in fiber (a lot of vegetables and oatmeal) prevent polyps from forming and reduce your probability of getting colon cancer.

It is best to eat only lightly on the day of your treatment. If the treatment is early in the day consider only having drinks before your colonic.

Eating a heavy meal beforehand will make your treatment more uncomfortable but is not considered dangerous or a reason not to have your colonic.

What is diverticulitis? Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About 10 percent of Americans over the age of 40 have diverticulosis. The condition becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over the age of 60 have diverticulosis. When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. This happens in 10 to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis and diverticulitis are also called diverticular disease.

Inflamation of the colon.

Colitis is actually inflammation in the large intestine. It can be caused my many different disease types. There are different types of colitis. Other colitis types may include ulcerative, Crohn's Colitis, Diversion Colitis, Ischemic colitis, Infectious colitis, Fulminant colitis, chemical Colitis, Microscopic colitis and Atypical colitis.

You will get sick if you eat turkey raw; cooking kills the bacteria.

A person can clean their colon out too much which will cause irritation.

No, it has a darker colour

Relax. Most often, you are tense and the muscles clamp down. Just stop and think of something that you like. Yes, it's embarrassing, but that's the reason there's a door to the bathroom. Take your mind off what you are doing and don't think about it. Your body will then loosen up and the problem will go away.

If this happens to you often, you might need to drink more water.

it is cause by an excessive amount of stress. but this is just one cause of colitis.
