Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease of the colon, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes continuing inflammation and sores in the digestive tract affecting the internal layer of the large intestine and rectum. It can be debilitating, and sometimes the complications can be life-threatening.
There is still no known cure for ulcerative colitis but treatment can lessen the signs and can even result in long-term quiescence of the disease.
