what is the difference between ibs and microscopic colitis
Microscopic Colitis. Colitis is literally defined as inflammation of the colon. But it's actually a catch-all term that covers a wide range of symptoms, from intermittent, watery diarrhea to acute pain and inflammation.
Different intestinal disorders can produce similar symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that produces some symptoms similar to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but they are not the same condition, and they involve very different treatments. Therefore, getting an accurate diagnosis is essential to managing your condition properly.
