Thoughts on fasting to help treat an ulcerative colitis flare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food deprivation...: ...is not the recommended approach to treat a flare of inflammatory bowel disease. Please see your doctor right away for the correct therapy. Under-treating your flare so that it worsens puts your life at risk!
