Colitis is an affection of your larger bowel.
When the problem gets worse, blood could appear, turning your problem into ulcerative colitis.
This affection causes poor water absorption and it makes it harder for the nutrients and enzymes in both food and drink to be processed.
Ulcerative Colitis is an autoimmune disease, but is usually linked to poor dieting and stress (an unbalanced nutrition and diet pills could trigger this disease faster).
