10 Colitis Symptoms

Symptom #10: Weight Loss
Patients suffering from colitis often lose weight due to many reasons. The constant episodes of diarrhea, loss of appetite and the intestinal inflammation preventing the absorption of vital nutrients, may cause a patient to lose weight over time.
For patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, this symptom can be used as a marker for disease control. With the right medication and medical follow-up, patients should retain a healthy weight.
