Ulcerative Proctitis

I have recently been diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis.  I am taking Asacol and a hydrocortisone enema (one every 3 days).  My question is can I take cabbage juice, aloe vera juice and what are the benefits?

Hi,
Cabbage juice and aloe vera do not have any effect on the disease ( UC).
But a few studies have shown that it helps in the healing of ulcerated lesions in the gut.
