Unlike Crohn&#8217;s, another form of IBD that can affect the entire digestive tract, colitis affects only the inner surface of the large intestine.[ii]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UC is considered to be incurable, however patients must seek to manage their symptoms. Untreated UC can cause long-term damage to the colon and increases risks of colon and anal cancers.[iii] Fortunately, natural options such as ginger may help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusnewsfeed.com\/article\/food-cooking\/ginger-improves-symptoms-of-ulcerative-colitis-enhances-quality-of-life\/\">https:\/\/www.nexusnewsfeed.com\/article\/food-cooking\/ginger-improves-symptoms-of-ulcerative-colitis-enhances-quality-of-life\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bowel and digestive problems like ulcerative colitis can be among the most discomforting and disruptive affronts to a person&#8217;s lifestyle and overall well-being.
