the above advice is good
I believe that over cleansing may have irritated your colon
well I was diagnosed with UC 2 yrs ago(although had it for 3 yrs)
The steps that have helped me most are:
Acupuncture
Diet(no alcohol,white bread,pasta,fried food,sugar,beverages,pork,veal,milk,garlic
yes potatoes,lamb,fish,white meat, eggs, cheese,yoghurt,bananas,boiled apples,blended rice)
Vitamins/minerals(vit A,B-all,C,K, zinc,calcium)
For the last year I'm to a 95% healing stage, but steady.No more radical amelioration.Only slight one.Just waiting for that 5% that has remained.
initially you may concentrate to natural anti-inflammatories such as Vit C (5gr/daily), zinc (up to 100mg/daily), Rubia cordifolia root powder(10gr/twice daily)
take care and check your hemoglobin if you're bleeding too much
keep your waist/abdomen warm all the times by wearing something extra on that part of your body.Cold causes the intestines to spasm abruptly and that doesn't help the healing
