A member asked:
Had an infectious colitis in september last yr but couldn't find cause,had very similar symptoms reoccur 6 months later,could it be something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: ulcerative colitis, but your doctors should be able to tell the difference between infectious colitis and ulcerative colitis with a colonoscopy. If your symptoms recur, I am sure your doctors will recommend it.
