Microscopic colitis is an inflammatory disease that results in chronic watery diarrhea. Microscopic colitis is different from most other gastrointestinal diseases because it cannot be observed in normal colonoscopy and requires a biopsy of tissue for proper diagnosis. Specialists at Harmony concentrate on discovering the underlying cause of Microscopic Colitis.
Symptoms of Microscopic Colitis include abdominal pain, loss of weight, dehydration, and increased frequency of bowel movements. The disease usually develops in adults and can be caused by certain medications, autoimmune conditions, or infections.
Specialists at Harmony provide advanced diagnostic techniques for the proper diagnosis of Microscopic Colitis and development of individual treatment options. Treatment may include change in diet, anti-inflammatory drugs, and alterations in patients' lifestyles to reduce recurrence of flare-ups.
