Dear , don't worry
First most important , u have to decide to continue treatment under allopathic or ayurveda.
If u want to continue treatment in allopathic then fallow your gastroenterologist, there is limited supportive majors
Or U can consult any ayurveda physician u wl get benefit
One thing u need to understand , only supportive medicine is available , cannot cure the disease as per allopathy or any pathy
