Treatment options
Ulcerative colitis can affect everyone differently. We can help you find a treatment that is personalized and that will reduce your symptoms to help avoid flare-ups. Our team works with you through any transition for your continued care.
Over-the-counter medicine can help control your bowel movements. If these aren't effective, your doctor may prescribe a stronger dose.
Your doctor can work with you to identify triggers specific to you and get you on the road to a diet plan that best helps you manage symptoms.
Active symptoms can be managed with a prescription of steroid medicine. This is often most helpful in mild cases of ulcerative colitis.
For moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, a viable cure involves surgically removing your large intestine. However, because this condition can cause problems in other areas of your body, surgery may not cure those issues.
