The Question of Flare Ups & Treatment?.
ANS: All these conditions (proctitis, colitis, or IBD) require LONG TERM on going care, if managed properly flare up’s can be reduced to a minimum or even eliminated completely. But it is a matter of attitude & of reducing the factors that can lead to an increased risk of flaring, like keeping stress levels down. (this is very important if you have this condition as stress does make the symptoms worse!). The positive foods diet seems reduce the chances of flaring, whilst I cannot prove this directly too you anecdotal evidence suggests this to be the case.
