Here is an article on ileus. Ulcerative colitis sounds like a difficult condition to live with. Have they told you how much of the intestines are involved? I believe if there is a small section that has serious damage from ulcerative colitis they can remove the section and give at least temporary relief. As far as ileus, it can have many causes and I don't know if you've just had surgery or if it is a direct result of the colitis or what. Maybe this article will help.
