Hello dear lybrate-user, Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is chronic inflammatory condition of the colon, many times it remains in symptomatic control with recurrent remissions of acute flare up.* Guidelines for better outcome Continue your current medications. Drink plenty of liquids. Prefer soft, light diet with more of green leafy veg, whole grains, cereals,pulses, legumes,organic fresh fruits. Avoid all types of oily, spicy,non veg, hot beverages, junk foods, dairy fat. Bulk forming laxative as Ispaghula husk 3 teaspoonful at night with a glass of drinking lukewarm water helps by smooth bowel evacuations. Tab.
