A member asked:
Can a colonoscopy prep cause irritation in the colon in the internal rectum that looks exactly like ulcerative colitis when the pictures are taken.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Ulcerative colitis has a specific appearance and location that distinguishes it histologically from normal tissue. The scenario you describe is possible with human error involved, but for the most part, very unlikely
