Try taking probiotic supplements if you've got colitis or Crohn's as the extra good bacteria can help bring the bad bacteria under control. I use Healthy Direct Probiotics, £3.99 for 60 tablets from www.healthydirect.co.uk.

Eat a couple of ripe bananas every day if you're suffering from colitis. They encourage healing because they're easily digestible, slightly laxative, bland and smooth and help relieve pain.
