Probably not : Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that is suspected to have a genetic component. It has no known direct cause but some experts think it can be triggered by environmental factors in a genetically susceptible person. In short- no one knows what truly causes ibd but stress is not frequently cited as the direct reason.
