Suggest Treatment For Ulcerative Colitis
I have a 25 year old daughter who is suffering from ulcerative colitis. She has just recently had a colonoscopy and has been taking humira shots for the last 6 mos for the illness. She is not getting any better and is struggling to go to work everyday. I don t know what to do to help her.

Ulcerative colitis can be controlled with diet changes to a significant level.
Medication alone wont help.
Try to observe which foods cause the flare and avoid them. Each person has different triggers.
Reasearch on what diet will help control symptoms
There are other monoclonal antibodies available.
Like cimzia .. Consult your doctor regarding a change in regimen.
