Study hypothesis
|
To examine the effect of zinc sulphate solution enema on patients with mild to moderate distal colitis. Although it is appreciated that Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis result in malabsorption of a variety of nutrients and that hypozincemia may occur in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, relatively little investigation has been directed toward the sequel of zinc deficiency in this disorder. We assume that zinc has an anti-inflammatory power. If this approach proves effective then it is likely to alleviate much suffering.
