Home > Digestive Disorders > Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes ulcers and inflammation in the lining of the large intestine. Diarrhea results because the inflammation causes the colon to empty frequently. Ulcerative colitis is similar to Crohn's Disease, but Crohn's usually occurs in the small intestine.
