Frequent urgency, abdominal pain, and unpredictable flare-ups — living with colitis means living with daily disruptions. Whether your symptoms are new or you’ve been managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for years, you deserve more than symptom management. You deserve a care plan that helps your body truly heal.
At Genesis Integrative Medicine in Manitowoc, WI, we offer a functional, root-cause approach to colitis treatment that focuses on calming inflammation, restoring gut integrity, and strengthening your immune system. Led by Terra Hartman, FNP, APNP, RN, FAAMM, our care model goes beyond prescriptions to deliver long-term support and symptom relief.
What Is Colitis?
Colitis refers to inflammation of the colon and is most often associated with conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or microscopic colitis. Symptoms can vary but commonly include:
- Bloody or loose stools
- Abdominal cramping and bloating
- Urgency and frequent bowel movements
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Weight loss or malabsorption
Colitis can significantly reduce your quality of life. Many people with IBD feel like they’re constantly managing flare-ups with medications that don’t fully address their symptoms.
A Functional Approach to Colitis Relief
At Genesis, we believe that lasting relief starts with understanding why the inflammation is happening in the first place. Our integrative care plans look for hidden triggers and underlying causes, such as:
- Microbial imbalances or infections in the gut
- Food sensitivities or allergens
- Stress-related cortisol imbalances
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Autoimmune dysfunction
We begin with a detailed 90-minute intake session to uncover your unique health history and symptoms. From there, your treatment plan may include:
- Advanced gut testing to identify imbalances, leaky gut, or food triggers
- IV therapy to replenish key nutrients and reduce inflammation
- Ozone and prolozone therapies to promote tissue repair and immune balance
- Peptide protocols to support gut lining regeneration
- Nutritional counseling and herbal medicine tailored to your needs
Our focus is not just on controlling your colitis. It’s on helping your gut repair itself from the inside out.
