Hi, my friend is 37 years old and he complained in last few weeks that he has pain in his stomach. After that he got diarrhea and his condition became worse. After several days he decides to visit his doctor who ordered further analyses and he was diagnosed by collagenous colitis. Please tell me more about this

Hi, my uncle also suffered from such colitis. It is inflammation of bowel which can't be seen with colonoscopy because there is no inflammation on surface of the intestines. Only sure method is biopsy where small part of tissue has to be taken on microscopic analyses. Exact cause for this disease is unknown.
