Difference Between Colitis and Ulcerative Colitis. Definition. Colitis is a general term used to describe the inflammation of the lining of colon. Ulcerative colitis is one form of colitis, which results in the chronic inflammation of colonic mucosa and rectum giving rise to ulceration and bleeding.
Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, such as Crohn's disease. It is known as IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). IBD is different from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Unlike IBD, IBS does not cause inflammation, ulcers or other damage to the bowel. It causes the colon to become inflamed.
