A member asked:
Is there other ways to cure chronic colitis then surgery and meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you are referring to chronic ulcerative colitis......this inflammatory bowel condition can nicely be "controlled" with the newer "biologic treatments" ...surgery is usually "last resort"! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
