Colitis is inflammation of the inner lining/ mucous membrane of the colon, the large intestines; this is also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are many causes that develop colitis, including infection of Amoeba and other harmless bacteria and different chemicals/ molecules present in the food. It may be ulcerative colitis, where ulceration starts from the rectum and spreads high up to the colon.
