My bil was diagnosied with colitis about 5 years ago. Since then he's had a number of flare-ups which have been managed quite well by steriods. However he's had a bad bout over the past 2 weeks and today was admitted to hospital as the doctor said he was 'very poorly'. Understandably my sister is very worried and has no idea what 'very pooly' actually means. He'll undergo a number of tests and a colonoscopy, to check the severity I assume.
Has anybody experienced this ot know of anybody who's colitis has become so servere?
