Colitis Symptoms & Signs

Diarrhea

Since colitis is a digestive issue, it would lead to diarrhea. You might have 3 or more watery, loose stool on a daily basis. This can be an obvious sign when you experience diarrhea right after having a meal or during the night. The condition occurs when your intestines quickly push digested fecal materials past your ulcerated area to avoid worsening the inflammation. Though acute diarrhea often disappears quickly, the chronic condition would last more than several weeks. In severe cases, you would see the presence of pus or blood in stools as well. [2]
