A member asked:
Possible bowel inflammation... what would be the cause of this? just started on antibiotics when should i see relief from the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Many viruses and bacteria can cause bowel inflammation. Autoimmune disorders like crohn's and ulcerative colitis can cause it too. Ischemia from lack of blood flow or perforation can cause inflammation too. Antibiotics will help only if bacteria is causing the inflammation...May take a few days.
