Does having colitis stop you from becoming a chef?

---

My nephew has colitis and may have to have a colostomy bag in the future. He is currently training as a chef at college. Because of this condition he has been told he may not be allowed to complete the course and become a chef. Is this correct? Any advice or web links would be appreciated. Thanks.
Unless his work involves heavy digging, or other kinds of manual work, having a colostomy (if he does have to get one) should not make any difference to his job. If he is not sure about this, he can ask his stoma nurse for advice.

What are the options for someone with ulcerative colitis?

---

My ex boyfriend has ulcerative colitis and is in the hospital. He has severe bleeding and is in lots of pain. I am wondering what his options are and if they will remove his colon, and if so will he need a bag or is there something else they can do. He has had it for 4 years now, but hes bleeding has progressed so bad and they said his entire large intestine is damaged. Has anyone else suffered with this and what did you have done and what was your experience?
My boyfriend has this disease and has had it for a few years as well. He currently takes a lot of medicine everyday and for the most part it has done the job. Lately though, it has gotten really irritated and the doctor once told him that if it gets bad enough that they would have to remove the part of colon that is infected. Now, weather or not a bag is needed greatly depends on where the ulcerative colitis is at in the colon. Unluckily for my boyfriend, his is in a part where he would need a bag if it got to be that bad. My boyfriend seems to think his get irritated and worse during the winter months, but who knows. I wish you guys all the best of luck, and I hope everything goes ok. But, just remember, you're not alone.  (+ info)

How serious is colitis in the colon?

---

I have been diagnosed with colitis in the colon upon a colonoscopy, They also removed polyps. That is all I know they did not tell me anymore. What does this mean?
I'm assuming that a gastro doctor did the colonoscopy? You should talk to them. Make an appointment either in person or by phone. Don't let the doc brush you off! There are several types of colitis-and you need to find out what type of treatment you need. I would also make an appointment with a nutritionist to go over diet. That will help a lot.  (+ info)

What is so different about cabbage then any other vegetable with it's affects on colitis?

---

Why is it that cabbage juice is such benifit to digestive problems such as colitis and heartburn?

I have been juicing it myself and it's definitly making a difference.

I tried looking stuff up on my own and I didnt find much cept they kind of mentioned that the fermentation and the bacteria have something to do with it maybe?
Off the top of my head, the simple fact that you're juicing it raw is going to have an effect with the natural enzymes helping your stomach repair itself and reduce heartburn. On top of that, cabbage helps stimulate natural testosterone production, which will better help you utilize the protein that you're taking in. While protein is associated with muscle, it really is responsible for rebuilding ALL your cells, including the ones in your stomach.

Hope this helps.   (+ info)

What food should be avoided for ulcerative colitis?

---

I have been suffering from ulcerative colitis for the last 2 1/2 years. Can anybody suggest what medicines I should take and what food I should avoid? Because of blood leakage my haemoglobin level goes down. What food would give more iron and hence to absorb the iron what food to take?
It varys from person to person, but I am sure you know your trigger foods. Things like spicy or strong flavours, sometimes milk, acidic drinks like orange juice and also fizzy pop. Caffine is also not a great idea. Iron rich foods include anything green and leafy like spinich or liver.  (+ info)
