Managing Your Flare-Ups: A Clinical Approach to Ulcerative Colitis
What is ulcerative colitis?
It is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the bowel lining. It often starts between the ages of 15 and 25 but can appear at any age.
When to seek medical advice
See a GP for persistent diarrhoea with blood, tummy cramps or unintended weight loss. Seek urgent help for severe bloody diarrhoea, fever or dehydration.
Available treatments
Aminosalicylates (mesalazine, sulfasalazine) are first-line. Steroids treat flares. Immunosuppressants (azathioprine) and biologics (infliximab, vedolizumab) are used for moderate to severe disease. Surgery may be needed if medication fails.
What to expect
Most people need lifelong maintenance treatment. Regular blood tests and specialist reviews are essential.
Self-care
Take medication consistently, identify dietary triggers, manage stress, stop smoking, have flu and pneumococcal vaccines, and join support groups like Crohn's and Colitis UK.
