Symptoms often associated with colon problems include blood in your stool, recent change in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or persistent stomach pain or cramping. However, these symptoms might be caused by something else, so it is important to see your doctor if you are experiencing any of them.

Other less or rare non-specific symptoms that may accompany colitis include: arthritis, mouth ulcers, painful, red and swollen skin and irritated, red eyes. Signs seen on colonoscopy include: colonic mucosal erythema (redness of the inner surface of the colon), ulcers, and bleeding.
