However, it rarely affects patients as severely as other forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Because the inflammation is too small to be seen with the naked eye, it is known as microscopic. Your doctor must take a sample of tissue and examine it under a microscope in order to diagnose it.

Under a microscope, however, the tissues of the two varieties of microscopic colitis appear distinct. The more severe forms of bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are unrelated to microscopic colitis. You are not more prone to developing cancer if you have microscopic colitis.

This implies that the food we at must go a long way before it is entirely digested and eliminated. Our intestines accomplish this process by contracting the muscles in waves. These muscle contractions, referred to as peristalsis, transport your digested food forward. A significant traffic jam in our intestines could develop if something, such as muscle or nerve issues, slows or prevents this motion. Ileus is the medical word for this immobility in the intestines that causes food stuff to pile up and may become blocked. An intestinal blockage may result from an ileus. This indicates that food particles, gas, or liqu...
