Can I Stop My Colitis Flare Without Taking Meds?

Hi I’m Dani, I’m 21, and have had colitis for 3-4 years now. I’m just having a flare up now its been two days of loose bowel movement and bloody stools with mucas etc. I realy want to be able to settle it myself with out having to go on the steroids as there realy not very nice! And not good in the long run! Please help is this possible?

I’m taking 2 asacol tablets a day 800mg and 75mg of aziophoroprine (how ever you spell it lol) I get abit of pain in my left side of my stomach, i can deal with it as its not realy bad! When I start to have a flare up i can end up going to the toilet up to several times in the day and then maybe 3-4 in the night so i loose weight quite quick im 7 stone 10 at the moment so realy can’t afford to loose anymore! I’m a hairstylist and have a busy clientele so it does get embarrassing when mid conversation i have to run to the toilet! Lol i dont mind it when im not having a flare up but when i do it does put my life on hold especialy when were out in a busy shopping centre or a busy night club its awfull!
