Functional Colitis
Functional colitis is a disorder in the functioning of the large intestine in which digestive discomfort appears without any detectable lesions or structural damage. It is part of what are called functional disorders of the digestive system.
Common symptoms:
- abdominal pain or cramping that improves after a bowel movement
- bloating or a feeling of inflammation
- changes in bowel rhythm, with constipation or looser stools
When to see the doctor? When the discomfort is recurring, affects your day-to-day life, or warning signs appear that should be checked.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the right professional to study these symptoms in adults, and in minors the pediatric gastroenterologist is involved along with the pediatrician. Discussing your symptoms with one of them helps understand what causes them and how to manage them.
