Inflammatory bowel disease not just occurs in seniors but also in everyone. It is a chronic illness of the digestive tract. There are two distinct types of this disease, the Crohn’s disease and the ulcerative colitis.

To keep it under control, here are some suggestions.

1. Take nutritional supplements. Of course, discuss this first with your doctor.
2. Reduce your intake of dairy products.
3. Eat a low-fat diet that is recommended by your doctor.
4. Stay away from food that is high in undigestible fiber.
5. Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the entire day.
