Ulcerative concerns problems gut motility. There are different types, depending on the main symptoms: diarrhea, constipation, pain and bloating.

Dr. Gerardo Alfonso Morales Fuentes

Speaking of diarrhea we refer to the presence of liquid or semi-liquid evacuations. Constipation is when we have infrequent bowel movements. The pain may be colic, acute generalized or no identifiable cause or type. Subtype strain is the most common, this refers to the vast majority of people with "swollen abdomen". Although you should correct that, there is no inflammation, but an accumulation of gas inside the intestine which distends it, like a balloon and usually occurs in evening way (dawns planito the abdomen and evening looks pregnant).

Colitis is associated with certain personality types or emotional states. The origin has not been determined at 100%, there are theories that claim that the intestinal flora is unbalanced, there is secondary to chronic infection or inflammation microscopic food.

The treatment is related to improving the mobility of the bowel and treat symptoms as such, therefore, antidiarrheal, laxative and antispasmodic it is recommended to facilitate the expulsion of gas and balance the intestinal flora. The main treatment is to coordinate the bowel movement. There is no magic cure for this, although as colonic washes remedies, diets, detox, any health food thing, juices, repeat colonoscopies and massages are promoted; none of this works and, conversely, can further damage the intestine.
