Hi, @sk7- welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I've not heard of a connection between concussion and ischemic colitis, but you might do a search on Google Scholar to see if anyone has published any papers on that topic.

You might also check in with some of the members in this discussion:

- Ischemic Colitis https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ischemic-colitis-2/

Have you gotten to ask your primary care doctor about what they think about this connection? If so, what did he or she say?
