This can be from various infections but also from autoimmune processes like crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. More testing would be necessary to better counsel you, which it sounds like your doctor is doing

Inflammation in gut: The term inflammation is a general word for the process in which the body is reacting to something abnormal. Problems with the immune function, infections, malabsorption or food intolerances are some of the causes of inflammation in the bowel.
