Brief Answer: Stool analysis Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. A simple routine stool analysis will give abundant information on what could be the cause for the colitis. It should be an early morning sample. Blood in the stool indicate ulcerative disease and presence of bacteria or pus cells give an idea about infective cause. Wish you good health. Regards,
