There is no cure for ulcerative colitis. It can go into remission and you may not have any flare ups for months. I would not recommend you giving him cabbage juice. This will more than likely make it much worse. There are many treatments that can help make the symptoms more tolerable. If it is really bad then there are incidences where the area of the colon that is affected can be removed. I know this sounds extreme but the end results are usually worth it. I hope things work out for your nephew. That is such a horrible disease process to have to live with on a daily basis.
Sorry there is no cure. Following a regimen can put it into remission though. There are some message boards and websites dedicated to UC and CD, as they have similar symptoms.
