Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have chronic ulcerative colitis for about 4 years. Recently I have continued bleeding and swelling on right lower abdomen. Ramicade infusion seems not to be working anymore and my doctor scheduled me for some kind of oscopy right away. He believes I may have a tear in my intestines and is wasting no time. He has been in this field over forty years and I have complete faith in him. If I do have a tear what can I expect?
Thank you for confiding this question on this open platform. Gastroscopy will only determine the extent of damage done and no corrective measures. If there are tears or simple ulcers, some Ayurveda antacids with healing properties may help such as Glycyrrhiza glabra or Madhuyashti and honey and/or Avipattikar Herbal combo with milk and some other minerals. We may have to try different in order to achieve maximum effect in shortest duration which will heal ulcers or tear too. But you need to stick to some food restrictions and essentials and wait for few weeks to see positive results coming. Feel free to ask anything more please.
