Colitis means inflammation of the colon. It can be infectious and short-lived, or chronic — ulcerative colitis, Crohn's colitis, microscopic colitis — needing long-term specialist care. The first job is to tell them apart, because the treatments are opposite.

Questions patients ask about ulcerative colitis
Is colitis serious?
Infectious colitis usually settles within days with treatment. Ulcerative colitis needs lifelong management but is well controlled in most patients.
Can colitis be cured with diet?
Diet helps symptoms and nutrition but cannot cure ulcerative colitis. Stopping medicines because you feel well is the commonest cause of relapse.
