There are several conditions that cause colitis including collagenous colitis, pseudomembranous colitis, and lymphocytic colitis to name a few. However, the two most common conditions that cause colitis include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. These conditions are also the most common types of inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD for short. In a person with Crohn's disease, the intestines have become irritated and inflamed, which can cause them to empty more frequently -- leading to diarrhea. Crohn's often affects the small intestines along with the colon. When it just affects the colon, it is also known as Crohn's colitis. Ulcerative colitis, which causes inflammation and sores in the lining of the large intestine and rectum, can result in abdominal pain (or stomach pain), diarrhea, and rectal bleeding, among other symptoms. Having ulcerative colitis also increases a person's chances of developing colon cancer. Welcome to the Colitis Health Channel by eMedTV .
