Ulcerative Colitis Cured By Squatting

 Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes ongoing inflammation and small sores (ulcers) in the inner lining of the large intestine. This inflammation makes the large intestine, or colon, empty frequently, which leads to the most common symptoms of colitis: diarrhea (often bloody) and abdominal cramps and pain.

The symptoms of ulcerative colitis, as well as possible complications, will vary depending on the extent of inflammation in the rectum and the colon.

Colitis symptoms can come on gradually or suddenly and vary in severity. The course of ulcerative colitis varies greatly from one person to another. Some people may have only mild symptoms, and others may have severe symptoms or complications that, in unusual cases, may be life-threatening.

It may be defined by the part of the large intestine affected: the rectum (proctitis), the left side of the colon (left-sided colitis), or the entire colon (pancolitis). One out of every two adults with ulcerative colitis has proctitis. Pancolitis is the most common form of ulcerative colitis in children.

In the United States and Northern Europe, the incidence of ulcerative colitis is about 8 to 15 people per 100,000. In Japan, where the incidence is the lowest, it is 0.34 per 100,000. According to an article from 1997 in The Lancet: "The last half of this century has seen a rising incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in developed countries," but notes "... the apparent absence of IBD in developing countries."
