Question About Crohn's Verses Colitsis Posted: 08-08-07 13:56pm
Can anyone tell me the difference between
the 2? Also can colitsis be cured? Reason
asking my sister told me she had a
colitsis attack and she was bleeding the
did a colonscopy and they first though she
was bleeding in her intestines because of
naproxen a anti-inflamitory. She went in
the hospital for a uterine infection and
about two weeks before she had a UTI are
there any other reasons she could of had
that kind of bleeding. My sister told me 2
different things one day she was reading
the paper in which they gave her when she
was discharged and it said possible
colitisis. then a few days later she told
me she has colitisis and I asked have you
talked to anyone about your stay in the
hospital or gone and seen anyone she
replied no. I just I think she is over
reacting because of what she read.
plese anyone help. I would like to
understand. If she does have colitisis or
crohns what can be done if anything?

I do know the answer. But, in this case,
there is a very big difference in both.
You should try a search on it and see what
you come up with. If anything can be done
for it? Yes, something can be done to
minimize the onset of colitis. With
crohns, we are talking a whole different
ball game, but still can be helped with
medications and proper diet with both.
