If the condition of colitis is not particularly severe, you can eat some Chinese toon sprouts in moderation.

Chinese toon contains aromatic organic compounds, which can invigorate the spleen, stimulate the appetite, clear heat, promote dampness, and detoxify. It can help treat diseases such as enteritis, dysentery, and urinary system infections. However, it is important not to eat too much at once, as it may cause abdominal distension and worsen diarrhea. It is important to maintain a balanced nutrition and arrange your diet reasonably.

Can I eat pineapple with colitis?

If you have colitis, try to eat less pineapple, as this food is relatively stimulating. Consuming it can irritate the intestinal mucosa, leading to congestion and edema of the intestinal mucosa, and aggravate colitis. Pineapple also has the effect of moisturizing the intestines and facilitating bowel movements, leading to an increase in the frequency of bowel movements which can worsen colitis. Therefore, patients with chronic colitis should pay attention to a light diet, avoid cold melons and fruits, and avoid fruits like pineapple. Bananas can also lubricate the intestines, leading to an increase in bowel movements, so they should also be avoided. Instead, you can eat some warm, easily digestible, and non-irritating foods to the intestines.

How to regain weight lost due to colitis

If there are symptoms of body wasting due to colitis, treatment should first be directed at the colitis to control the condition. After controlling the condition, it is possible to reduce symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients in food and can help enhance physical fitness. Normally, care should be taken not to overeat or drink excessively. It is okay to eat moderate amounts of eggs, meat, and dairy, but be careful not to eat too much at once, as this can aggravate the symptoms of colitis.

What are the symptoms of rectal polyps?

Rectal polyps due to proctitis are generally benign lesions, so the symptoms are not obvious. Some patients may have no specific symptoms and polyps are incidentally found during routine physical examinations or colonoscopies where proctitis is seen in conjunction with polyps. Of course, a small number of patients may experience abdominal discomfort and abnormal bowel movements. The abdominal discomfort generally focuses on the lower abdomen, or occurs sporadically in the lower left abdomen, and can manifest as bloating pain, dull pain, or an unexplained discomfort. The abnormality in bowel movements can be seen as stools being more liquid-like and frequent, with some patients having watery stools, but there are no symptoms of fever or bloody stools. Therefore, the symptoms of rectal polyps from proctitis are usually not obvious and can be further clarified through colonoscopic examination. If the rectal polyps are not large, periodic observation with colonoscopy every six months to a year may be advised. Of course, if the polyps grow larger or symptoms become pronounced, treatment through endoscopic removal may be chosen.

Is the infusion effective for proctitis?

The rectum is located near the anus, thus it is at the exit end of the human body. If there is inflammation in the rectum, venous infusion can be considered. However, since venous infusion enters the body through the blood and then into the rectum, the absorption by the rectum is somewhat poor. For actual rectal inflammation, rectal suppositories or enemas can be used for treatment. Both Chinese and Western medicines offer corresponding symptomatic drugs for treatment. Rectal infusion is only temporary; the main treatment strategy is still the use of suppositories or enemas, which tend to be more effective because they directly target the intestine, allowing for fuller absorption. (The use of medications should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Can you eat garlic with proctitis?

Patients with proctitis can eat garlic, but they should also avoid consuming large amounts of garlic, as excessive garlic can easily irritate the rectum and exacerbate the inflammation. It is recommended that patients with proctitis eat foods that are easy to digest and non-irritating, such as white rice porridge and millet porridge. They should avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. It is also necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and to avoid strong tea and coffee as much as possible. Patients with proctitis can take oral medications to regulate the intestinal flora for treatment; the choice of specific medications should be based on the doctor's clinical experience.
