Things to keep in mind for people with colitis

Colitis refers to various causes of inflammatory lesions of the colon, mainly manifested as diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucus stool or pus and blood stools, often accompanied by lethargy and fatigue, etc., and more recurrent episodes. I believe that we are not unfamiliar with the disease of colitis, usually bad living and eating habits can easily cause this disease, if patients with this disease want to control the condition as soon as possible, you can start from the living and eating habits. So what aspects of colitis patients need to pay attention to in their daily lives? 1, should not eat cold, greasy, spicy stimulating food, prohibit smoking and drinking. Cold food refers to cold fruits and vegetables, cold drinks, cold buns, cold vegetables and cold food; greasy food refers to fat meat, fried and sizzling food; spicy stimulating food such as chili peppers, raw onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, onions and other food. Eating these foods and smoking and drinking will stimulate the colon wall, so that the intestinal wall edema, congestion, smooth muscle spasm, resulting in colitis recurrence or aggravation. 2, allergic food is also one of the foods that should not be eaten in colitis, due to the different physique of people, the allergic feeling to food is also different. Milk, eggs, bee pupae, earthworms, unripe tomatoes, peanuts, polo, grasshoppers, crabs, broad beans and some insect food, etc. have allergenic effect, some people eat these foods easy to cause allergies, but some people are not allergic to a certain food whether someone is allergic to, mainly lies in the different physical condition of the different people. 3, the abdomen should not be cold, even if the weather is hot in summer, but also to cover the abdomen, do not let the abdomen cold, otherwise the intestinal cold stimulation and spasm caused by the onset of the disease or aggravation. 4, should not be long-term anger, depression and worry. Because these adverse mental stimuli can make the vagus nerve over-excited, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, intestinal fluid secretion, so that the protective properties of the intestinal mucosal barrier is reduced and cause intestinal mucosa inflammation or bleeding. 5, should not be overworked. In the case of overwork, the body’s immune function and resistance to disease decreases, which is easy to make the disease attack or aggravate.
