Surgery might have introduced a new pathogen causing the ulcerative colitis. Now this is a problem since we don't know the nature of the organism, whether this is a bacteria, virus, or a mycobacterium. A staph and a mycobacterium are a possibility. In one case of a known bleeding stomach, which were also an ulcerative colitis, but for me it resembled a leaky gut syndrome, a magnesium chloride 250 mg. taken 3 times a day, mixed in 1/2 glass of water killed the unknown organism. Certain kinds of staph caused ulcerative colitis seemed to be sensitive to that. However if it is a mycobacterium strain, fungus, or candida like strain the best response were 1/8 teaspoon of borax mixed in one liter of water where the dose is divided equally over the course of a day. I would imagine taken 3 or 4 times a day. Some people are sensitive to borax, so taking 2 or 3 times a week should be sufficient. Turmeric taken along for any one of the condition might further the kill, perhaps about 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon taken 3 times a day may help.
