The difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease

Condition analysis:
Ulcerative Colitis is the inflammation of the innermost lining of the large intestine and/or rectum. Crohn's disease is the inflammation of the lining and walls of the large and/or small intestine. It may also affect other parts of the digestive system and can spread deep into the tissue.

Traditionally, these two conditions were thought to be distinct types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, IBD researchers are beginning to think of IBD as a spectrum (or range) of diseases that affect the intestines.

Thus, some people may only have symptoms of ulcerative colitis or symptoms of Crohn's disease, while others may have symptoms of both conditions (known as "indeterminate colitis").

Instructions:
1. Take Boswellia To Reduce Swelling: Boswellia is an herb originating in India, but is now used worldwide for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

The bark of this tree secretes a resin, which contains chemicals that have the potential, to stop the chain of chemical reactions leading to inflammation. Therefore, this herb is very effective in controlling the inflammation of colon and rectum, resulting from Ulcerative Colitis.

2. Increase Vitamin C Intake: You can increase your daily intake of vitamin C, to get relief from the painful condition of ulcerative colitis. For this, you should consume foods, like, parsley, red bell peppers, spinach and strawberries, which are rich in this vitamin. Vitamin C performs a protective role, by preventing the inflammation of colon cells, and reducing the severity of Ulcerative Colitis.
