Now to begin with, Take a cup of home made milk kefir daily. May be half cup in the morning in empty stomach and half cup in evening in empty stomach. However, there are no hard and fast rules to take milk kefir, you can take it anytime of the day.

Milk Kefir has Trillions of probiotic strains of bacteria and Good Yeasts which can immediately colonize your intestines and prevent any proliferation of bad bacteria, this prevents the inflammation of the intestines and cause the intestines to heal. Kefir will replenish your intestinal flora which was wiped because of antibiotic use.

And this will also increase your immunity and your baby's immunity. Milk kefir is rich in serotonin which can keep you calm and give a sense of well being. (that I am feeling great). Milk kefir is rich in nutrition that can be absorbed by the body. Milk Kefir is rich in digestive enzymes that can assist in your digestion and assimilation which is hampered by UC.

Starting from the day 2 you will feel that you are healed, however it will take time for your intestines to heal.

After giving birth to baby, you can take wheat grass juice 15 ml in morning mixed with 3times of water in empty stomach, this will heal your instestines and eliminate any pathogenic bacteria. You may have to take wheat grass juice for 2 months.

Which grass juice is rich in Iron, which can replenish your blood level that was lossed during labor.

There is another auyurvedic treatment that can cure UC in one week.

1. Take 1 tsp of bael fruit powder and 1 tsp of Licorice root powder and mix in cold water set it aside for half an hour. Filter the water and Drink in empty stomach early in the morning and in the evening.

Bael Fruit is a very potent antibiotic, anti viral, anti parasitic fruit that grows in south asia.

Licorice Root powder is the best Gastro intestinal tract healer and rejuvenator from esophagus to rectum. It promotes the cell growth of your intestines.

But this ayurvedic treatment you can try at a later time if you are not cured even after taking milk kefir or wheat grass juice.

I hope you will be alright in the next month by milk kefir. Good Luck

First, Diet. Eliminate all processed and adulterated foods as possible. Minimize or totally eliminate the use of Microwave Oven. Check for certain food allergies like Glutin found in wheat and other grains. Second begin taking a natural antibiotic for possible if not likely pathogen infection; Grapefruitseed Extract, Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf Extract, Garlic, among others are indicated. Third, Parasite infestation is routinely overlooked in modern medicine even though it is more prevalent than estimated. When the condition declines to debilitating levels even though one is young and otherwise healthy, any number of Parasite species can be culprits. So, in addition to the natural antibiotics (which are also mildly antiparasitic) purchase an herbal "Black Walnut Complex" or "Parasite Formula" at your health food store.

Also, to strengthen and heal the intestines supplement w/ Vit-A and Zinc. The natural supplement Butyric Acid helps restore colon function. Use all the products according to the labeled suggestion, and read for contraindications during pregnancy.

Hope this helps and good luck.
