Ulcerative Colitis

    Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, recurring disease of the large bowel (colon). When ulcerative colitis affects the colon, inflammation and ulcers, or sores, form in the lining of the colon. Symptoms usually begin gradually, with crampy abdominal pain and diarrhea that is sometimes bloody. In more severe cases, diarrhea is very severe and frequent. Though these are the most common symptoms, there are others depending specifically on where the disease is located in the bowel. Symptoms tend to come and go (remission and flare), and there may be long periods without any symptoms at all. Usually, however, they recur.¹
