A member asked:

What is the "colitis 5 step formula" diet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jason Hemming answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Naturopathic: Supplents that are suppose to help balance the colon. Unlikely to do much harm but no proven benefit and as always be weary of any supplement since they are not fda approved. Should discuss further with your GI md.
