Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Colitis refers to inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.

It is caused by:

1. Infection, for example, caused by bacteria like C difficile, viruses, and parasites
2. Inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis
3. Ischemic colitis caused by decreased blood supply
4. Microscopic colitis (lymphocytic/collagenous colitis)
5. Allergic reactions

Before treatment, we have to confirm the cause for it. Please consult your doctor who will examine and do colonoscopy, treat accordingly. Don't eat pulses and roti (bread) until you meet the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
