A member asked:
What causes ulcerative colitis and does treatment always result in an ileostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulcerative Colitis: UC is an autoimmune disease and having UC doesn't always mean you need to have an ileostomy. You need to see a GI doctor and get on an anti-inflammatory regimen to help control the symptoms.
