Hello, @cherelle - wanted to say I'm glad you got some answers. Now that the doctor said the colonoscopy indicated colitis, do you know what kind of colitis it is?

Hi, @quiteachiver75 - According to The National Institutes of Health, "The two types of microscopic colitis are collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. Health care providers often use the term microscopic colitis to describe both types because their symptoms and treatments are the same."

Good question, @quiteachiver75. There appear to be a number of types of colitis. Here is a website where you can read about many of the types of colitis. Just click on the link, https://www.healthline.com/health/colitis#types-and-causes

Here is an article from Mayo Clinic's website that discusses ulcerative colitis, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ulcerative-colitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20353326

Did your doctor tell you what type of colitis you have? If not, it would be a good idea to call or send him a message through the patient portal to find out.

Have you been offered any suggestions by your doctor for treating your colitis?
