Ulcerative Colitis often shares symptoms and triggers with Crohn's Disease, another autoimmune disease affecting the digestive system. While similar, successfully differentiating between the two is crucial. As a UC and Crohn’s specialist, Dr. Dasari emphasizes a proactive approach to treatment that addresses the underlying epigenetic triggers and immune dysfunction common to both conditions. By recognizing the importance of a personalized plan specifically tailored to Ulcerative Colitis and focusing on turning “OFF” genes that contribute to inflammation, this approach can empower you to take control of your condition and potentially eliminate the need for prolonged medication use.
