Don't Ignore the 5 Primary Symptoms of Colitis

• Dr. Albert Snow

• Colitis masquerades by many names, and the
  symptoms of colitis are no fun. They include
  severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and constipation,
  to name a few.

3

• Colitis is a serious problem that causes the
  lining of the large intestine to be inflamed and
  swollen.

4

• The primary cause of colitis is the use of
  antibiotics. Antibiotics destroy the mucosal
  lining of the intestines.

5

• Without this lining, the health of your colon
  declines dramatically, since the lining protects
  the tissue in your gastrointestinal tract.

6

• Once damaged, your body's digestive enzymes then
  work on destroying the lining, which causes the
  tissue to be eaten away.

7

• These are the five most common symptoms of
  colitis

8

• 1. Diarrhea

9

• This can range from mild and occasional to
  frequent with unpredictable urgency. Diarrhea is
  often triggered by eating and then having to run
  to the bathroom.

10

• Some people have a condition known as IBS-C, or
  Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation.

11

• This latter condition is found most commonly in
  someone genetically pre-disposed to constipation.
  This condition is caused by failing to properly
  hydrate the stool.

12

• 2. Intestinal/stomach pain

13

• While this may indicate a stomach bug (stomach
  flu) or food poisoning, it is also a symptom of
  colitis and/or constipation.

14

• 3. Bloody stools

15

• Along with fever and dehydration and diarrhea,
  these symptoms may indicate ulcerative colitis.

16

• 4. Mucus in stool

17

• When you add the above symptoms to mucus, it may
  be Crohn's Disease.

18

• While not a physical symptom, this last symptom
  may be the most paralyzing side-effect of colitis
  and IBD.

19

• 5. Paranoia

20

• This is seen in someone who is too afraid to
  leave home to attend social events, go the mall,
  go out to eat, go to a movie, etc.

21

• Paranoia is most commonly found in those
  suffering from a more severe irritable bowel
  disease.

22

• Many have had accidents," and even when cured,
  find it difficult to leave the safety of their
  home for more than a short period of time.

23

• The progression in the severity of the syndrome
  from colitis to Crohn's is based on the fact that
  all of these are the same condition.

24

• The primary difference is the amount of damage
  done to intestinal tissue, which has a strong
  correlation to how long you have suffered through
  the symptoms without treatment.

25

• Bottom line -- don't tolerate this pain and these
  symptoms any longer than you have to.

26

• Taking drugs isn't the answer -- there is an
  alternative that works that involves rebuilding
  your gut.

27

• Do your research, discover the tissues that
  comprise your colon, and don't ignore these five
  primary symptoms of colitis.
