What is lymphocytic colitis?
Lymphocytic colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is a rare disorder characterized by chronic episodes of watery diarrhea and abdominal pain. Your large intestine is part of your digestive (gastrointestinal or GI) tract. It includes both the colon and rectum. It goes from your mouth all the way to your rectal opening. The large intestine receives the broken-down products of food from the small intestine. One of its main jobs is to reabsorb water and electrolytes, such as salt. The colon leads to the rectum, which stores your feces before your body expels them.
In lymphocytic colitis, inflammatory cells from your immune system travel to your large intestine. Here they cause swelling and inflammation of the tissues. In rare cases, these cells also invade the latter part of the small intestine. Immune cells (lymphocytes) may build up in the area as well. The inflammation may keep your large intestine from reabsorbing as much water as it should. This leads to diarrhea, belly pain, and other symptoms.
Lymphocytic colitis is one type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a group of conditions that cause inflammation in either the small or large intestine. Lymphocytic colitis is a type of microscopic colitis. Microscopic colitis is inflammation of the large intestine that can only be seen through a microscope. The other main type of microscopic colitis is collagenous colitis. Some experts think lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis might be the same illness presented in different ways.
