“What helps with ulcerative colitis?”

There are many medications available for treatment of UC so the decision on what to use must be made in concert with your physician or other caregiver.

See here for a breakdown of the types of medications used for UC: https://patient.gastro.org/inflammatory-bowel-disease-ibd/#ibdtreatment

Managing ulcerative colitis (UC) often includes a combination of medication, diet, and lifestyle adjustments to reduce inflammation and maintain remission. Anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, or biologics can be prescribed to control flare-ups, and fiber intake adjustments can help ease digestive symptoms. Hydration is key, especially during flare-ups, and stress management through techniques like yoga or meditation can positively impact UC. While some foods, like dairy or high-fat foods, can trigger symptoms, keeping a food diary may help identify personal triggers.

We encourage you to visit the clinic to discuss a personalized management plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
