Colitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the colon (lower intestine) that can cause serious health problems as well as a significant negative impact on a person's overall quality of life.

Colitis symptoms vary, and can include anorexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, flatulence, and/or unhealthy weight loss. In some case, intestinal bleeding can also occur due to ulceration of the intestinal lining, and can result in bloody diarrhea. Colitis is compounded by the fact that it can often result in poor absorption of nutrients, leading to nutritional deficiencies that can further exacerbate symptoms. Health sapping autoimmune responses can also occur as a result of colitis.
