1. Medicines for remission
When you go into remission, your ulcerative colitis symptoms should improve. Remission is often a sign that your treatment plan is working. It is likely that you will use medication to put you in remission.
Medications to treat and relieve ulcerative colitis may include:
5-aminosalicylate (5-ASAs), such as mesalamine (Canasa, Lialda, Pentasa) and sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) Biologics: infliximab (Remicade) , golimumab (Simponi) and adalimumab (Humira) Corticosteroids Immunomodulators

2. Take control of your stress
Some stress is inevitable, but try to avoid stressful situations when you can. Try to create a lifestyle with as little stress as possible.
Quit smoking: If other people in your family smoke, make a plan to quit together. Not only will this eliminate the urge to smoke, but it will also help you support each other.
3. Regular health check
Your doctor will probably recommend regular checkups.
Stick to the schedule. If you suspect a flare or if you start experiencing any side effects from your medication, contact your doctor.
4. Exercise
Try to exercise at least 30 minutes five times per week. This is an American Heart Association (AHA) recommendation for physical activity in adults.
Exercise can include anything from climbing stairs to brisk walking around the block.
