1, irritating food
Colitis patients should not eat onions, ginger, garlic, chili, mustard and other irritating foods and condiments, because these foods can cause chemical irritation to the already damaged intestinal wall, which can aggravate the damage to the tissues and worsen the condition.
2, avoid eating raw vegetables and fruits
Colitis patients should avoid eating raw vegetables and fruits, because these foods are not suitable for digestion and easy to form a residue on the ulcer surface mechanical stimulation and damage, and even cause pain to make the ulcer worse.
3, avoid eating flatulence food
Lettuce, garlic, beans, radish, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, etc. are easy to produce a large amount of gas in the intestinal tract, will promote intestinal peristalsis, should not be eaten. In addition, some patients drink milk will also produce gas, so colitis patients should also try to drink less milk.
4, avoid eating high-fat food
Colonitis patients on the fat digestion and absorption capacity is weakened, easy to produce fatty diarrhea, further affecting the intestinal digestive and absorption function, which will aggravate the condition, so patients with colitis should not eat too much fat, fried food.
5, do not eat more fiber food
Colitis patients should try to limit the food fiber, any food with fiber should be chopped, such as leeks, radish, celery and so on. This is because fiber can stimulate peristalsis in the intestines and aggravate inflammatory lesions.
6, do not eat allergic food
The colitis, must pay special attention to their diet, if a certain time to find themselves eating a certain kind of food is not comfortable, and determined to be their own allergy to that kind of food should be a good record of the future resolutely avoid eating.

Such as alkaline noodles, ramen, alkaline steamed buns, doughnuts, cookies and snacks containing alkali or soda, soda water, alkaline ionized water, red root spinach, wild vegetables (mountain mazar, elm money, acacia flowers, willow jujube, ashwagandha, capers, bitter greens, ferns, and so on), cauliflower, bananas, persimmons, and so on.
8, colitis etiology
1, intestinal bacterial or viral infections
Colitis of the performance of the emergence of the inflammatory manifestations of the mucosa of the colon and some infectious diarrhea, such as bacillary dysentery, amebic dysentery, etc., and so it has been proposed that the onset of colitis may be related to infection.
2, genetic factors
Colitis in different races, the probability of its incidence of great variability, in which the incidence of Caucasian people to be much higher than the yellow and black; in addition, ulcerative colitis patients in the immediate family, about 15% -30% of the people can be the same incidence. It can be hypothesized that the disease of colitis may have a certain relationship with genetic factors.
3, autoimmune factors
The occurrence of this disease is related to autoimmune reaction, many patients with colitis observed that the cessation of intake of certain foods can relieve the condition; in addition, this disease is also associated with a number of immune disorders, such as erythema nodosum, purpura, nodular inflammation, drug metabolism and other concurrently, adrenal hormones have a higher therapeutic effect on the disease; the patient's serum can be found in the colitis. s serum can be found in the colonic antibodies, and many other above phenomena suggest that the development of colitis may be related to immune factors.
4, excessive secretion of lysozyme
Some patients infected with intestinal bacteria, the intestinal wall will secrete a large number of lysozyme, dissolve the intestinal wall mucus, so that the intestinal mucosa loses its protective layer, inviting pathogenic microorganisms to invade, and in the healing of its lysozyme decreased.
5, neuropsychiatric factors
Psychiatric factors play a role in the development of colitis, colitis patients generally have certain personality traits, the psychological ability to withstand major events in life and the poor adaptability of the population, more prone to disease.
6, Chinese medicine on the understanding of colitis
The Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of this disease is mainly with the innate endowment insufficiency, the acquired spleen and stomach insufficiency has an important relationship. The disease can be triggered and aggravated by external evils, dietary indiscretions, or worry and anger. External exposure to dampness and heat, resulting in gastrointestinal qi and blood stagnation; or feel the wind, cold and dampness, cold and dampness injuries to the stomach and intestines, intestinal qi stagnation; or addicted to fat, sweet and thick flavors, resulting in dampness and heat in the intestines; or because of overeating cold fruits and melons, cold and dampness and intestinal stagnation; or because of the emotional and emotional disorders, the liver is depressed by the spleen, resulting in the dysfunction of spleen's function of transportation and transformation, resulting in the food and dampness stagnation of the intestines and stomach, and so on. All of these factors can cause intestinal qi not smooth, through the loss of unfavorable, and the emergence of this disease.
