Colitis is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases that cause severe gastric and intestinal pain. We usually try to treat such problems with antacids, or stronger drugs. Any digestive problem, from ulcers, acid reflux disease and heartburn to colitis, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome, can be alleviated with water.
Much of our diet is acidic, in the form of meats and dairy products. Poorly digested acidic foods cause symptoms of pain and inflammation. Water helps in digestion, maintains the stomach lining so that stomach acid cannot cause irritation, and it transports waste matter through our intestines and bowel. Diseases such as colitis are painful, and they can be embarrassing as well. Re-hydration can reduce and even remove these problems.
