Ulcerative Colitis

I % 4 ~~~~~~~~~~MD I C A L JOURNqAL Summary During the last few years it has proved possible to recognize a group of patients with ulcerative colitis in whom removal of milk and protein-containing milk products from the diet has been followed by marked improvement in the clinical course of the illness. In five of these patients milk has been reintroduced into the diet, and on every occasion this has been followed in a few days or weeks by a frank attack of ulcerative colitis. One patient was tested twice on separate occasions, so that there were six such events in all.
