Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello, and thanks for your question.

The only way to avoid diarrhea in ulcerative colitis (UC) is to get treated for UC directly. This is usualy accomplished with suflasalazine at the very least, and sometimes more expensive antibody-based medication. Otherwise, the problem will continue.

In the future, for continuity of care, I encourage you to contact me directly at my private web address below. After you ask a direct question, it would be my pleasure to be your dedicated personal physician on this website.
