A doctor has reviewed my full body diagnostic report and told me that I am suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I have also experienced weight loss, and I am unable to digest milk. Could you please advise me on what foods and drinks I should consume that are easier to digest and suitable for my condition?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease can affect digestion and nutrient absorption. You may be lactose intolerant, try switching to lactose free milk or curd. Small frequent meals, avoiding spicy/oily food, and high fibre diet can help. Please consult a gastroenterologist for a structured IBD management plan.

Respected Doctors, I have been diagnosed with proctosigmoiditis. Can it lead to cancer in the future without treatment? I do not have any symptoms. Should I worry about this? Some doctors say it is only piles, while others say it is proctosigmoiditis. Please provide a correct and genuine answer. I am attaching my colonoscopy report.

Question
