Can collagenous colitis be cured?
Because experience is limited, the danger of leaving these disorders untreated is not known. It is unknown whether colonic inflammation of this type may predispose patients to future complications, such as abnormal cell growth or lesions. On one hand, spontaneous remission has been documented in some patients; exacerbation after discontinuation of anti-inflammatory medications has been noted in others. The appropriate duration of therapy is difficult to define.
