Question: I have colitis and colonic therapy is too expensive for me. What other option do I have for treatment?

Answer: We are sorry to hear that you have colitis and colonic therapy is too expensive, but there are a few options you can try on your own. If you are not under the care of a physician due to the cost you should call the local emergency room and ask them what to do.

There have been many studies done on colitis, its causes, and treatment options so you do have a good chance to find something that will work for you.

A common treatment for colitis is to eat more oatmeal. there is also a type of fiber in a plant called brassica which has been shown to reverse ulcers all along the digestive tract.

Fish oil pills have also been shown to reduce the duration and intensity of flare ups. This is also a very good supplement to prevent heart disease.

There are also herbal systems such as Colonix that could be helpful to you in reducing your symptoms.

If none of these work we recommend going to the hospital regardless of the cost. Many hospitals will provide free care in the event you are unable to pay for your stay.

Thank you for your question about colitis and colonic therapy and please feel free to ask any others you may have.
