Introduction to Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the membrane of the colon (large intestine) and rectum.
It is usually recognised by swelling of the abdomen, fever, diarrhea and, in some cases a little blood in the excrement.
It's causes are unknown although stress and certain types of food have been known to trigger attacks.
Some medications are available with varying success rates but in severe cases surgery is required.
