What the Symptoms of Antibiotic Colitis?
Antibiotic colitis, also known as antibiotic-associated colitis, is a condition of the large intestines where the bacteria found in the colon suffer an imbalance due to the ingestion of an antibiotic. In each of us, there is a basic symmetry of bacteria, both “good” and “bad.” The good bacteria keep the number of bad bacteria in check. If a disruption occurs within the quantity of good bacteria, the bad bacteria can lay claim to the body, in this case the colon. When this happens, the lining of the colon will suffer an inflammation, causing a number of uncomfortable symptoms.
