Proctitis

Has anyone had ulcerative proctitis only for a long duration. The way my sons is seems very mild, looking to hear stories as I try and recognise the prognosis. I know for some it spreads.

That’s what I can’t get my head around, my sons is blood only also. Hope he is lucky and it does not spread.

Here's a stat for you:

If ulcerative colitis is initially limited to the rectum (proctitis) at the time of diagnosis, fewer than 30% of individuals will go on to develop more extensive disease (Rowe). Approximately 10% of patients presenting with proctitis will develop a pancolitis (Rowe). The disease remains confined to the rectum in approximately 25% of cases (Rowe).

Generally proctitis patients have the best prognosis and least trouble from uc.

My daughter was diagnosed with proctitis at around 19 she had blood all the time, and for a long time she was in a constant flareup. I did a lot of research to figure out what might help. The most effective is Qing Dai (indigo naturalis) it reduces inflammation and heals colon sores. She started taking it and in 2-3 days she had no more blood and few bowel movements.
She takes a capsule every day (I buy the powder from Atlanta Acupuncture) I buy 00 empty capsules and put the powder in.

She can't have dairy, wheat, sour things, raw vegetables, black pepper.

She has gained weight. But she has to be very careful about what she eats

I really think indigo naturalis works,
Everyone that has UC should give it a try

Good Luck!
