| What is Colitis? Colitis means “inflammation of the colon.” (Any word ending in the suffix itis means inflammation; appendicitis, arthritis, gastritis, diverticulitis, esophagitis, etc) Along with its cousin’s Crohn’s Disease and (the more advanced form of colitis called) Ulcerative Colitis, colitis is one of the most common inflammatory bowel disorders commonly referred to as IBDs. Colitis can occur anywhere along the six feet of our colon which is divided almost equally in length into three distinct sections; the ascending colon on our right side, the transverse colon which crosses right to left across our abdomen a few inches above our navel, and the descending colon on our left side. The last foot or so of our descending colon is called the sigmoid colon. Most of the symptoms related to colitis seem to occur in the sigmoid colon. Like all other digestive disorders it is completely correctable and easily prevented from future occurrences. If and only if you eliminate the root causes and if and only if you become more proactive (vigilant-mindful) in your own self-care. My book, Healing Digestive Illness will teach you how to do this.
