[edit] Fulminant colitis
There was an edit that said 5-15% of UC patients present with fulminant colitis. That is not correct. Only about 15% of all UC patients require hospitalization. About 15% of UC patients are severe colitis at presentation, and about 2-5% of those end up with a fulminant course. However, fulminant colitis is by itself a grave sign as the surgical incidence shows. S Holland MD Kd4ttc 22:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Verification
I reviewed the article. It is now correct. It is also short. Additional material welcome. Stephen Holland MD Kd4ttc 22:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spastic Colon
Is this the same as irritable bowel syndrome?--Twintone 08:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
No, no it is not. They're often mistaken for eachother though, by those not in the professional field.SonicNiGHT
[edit] This sentence makes NO sense
"This name causes confusion since colitis is not a feature of irritable bowel syndrome how does this come to a person and why Autistic enterocolitis is a disputed medical entity but refers to a type of colitis found in patients with autism.". WTF??? --bī-RŌ 23:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
As a person who had colitis...I lol'd. Is that even a sentance? SonicNiGHT
[edit] Rapid Weight Loss
Is that really a symptom? I mean, when I had colitis, I gained nearly 100 lbs, but I will admit that it is probably due to the steroids all my doctors were pumping into me :\ [[User:SonicNiGHT|SonicNiGHT]] (talk) 17:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
