Colite
.Colitis is an inflammatory-dystrophic lesion of the colon. Untreated acute colitis that is not treated in a timely manner turns into chronic colitis over time. Most often, chronic colitis is not only the outcome of acute, but also a consequence of weakened immunity, the introduction of pathogenic microbes into the body. Often the cause of the disease is also a worm infestation. In addition, chronic colitis (so-called secondary colitis) can occur with inflammatory diseases of the liver, pancreas, duodenum.
The course of chronic colitis is characterized by periods of exacerbation and remission. The leading symptoms of the disease are abdominal pain and stool irregularities. The pain varies in intensity and localization. Colitis is characterized by typical aching pain - in the lower and lateral parts of the abdomen. The localization of pain is usually due to the site of the lesion in the colon. The pain is rarely intense, increasing usually after a meal. After stooling and passing gas, the pain decreases. When the pain spreads to the nearby intestinal membranes, it becomes constant, intensifying with movement (especially when shaking), defecation, cleansing enema. Heat procedures (mud, diathermy, paraffin, ozokerite, heating pads) increase pain.
Flatulence is a frequent sign of the disease. Dyspeptic phenomena are constant and varied. Patients are bothered by an unpleasant taste or bitterness, as well as dry mouth, belching, nausea, heartburn, and a feeling of discomfort in the abdomen. Colitis leads to a violation of appetite, more often it is low.
Stool disorders are varied. The same patient may have both diarrhea and constipation at different periods of the disease, as well as a combination of them (unstable stools). Often occurs so-called syndrome of insufficient emptying of the intestines: excretion of small amounts of mushy or liquid feces, sometimes with an admixture of shaped pieces, often with mucus, several times a day. In this case, patients complain of a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bowel after defecation. The urges occur predominantly in the morning hours at short intervals or immediately after a meal.

Patients often say that last night they ate only 2 pieces of salted lard, "on a hunt", or 1-2 pickled tomatoes, and in the morning "out of the blue" suddenly appeared very strong pains in the subcostal region, and such that had to call an ambulance.
And it is indeed true: attack-like pain syndromes in sufferers of chronic cholecystitis often develop from gross violation of diet.
Cholecystitis is accompanied by pain, occurring suddenly, often being intolerable. It often goes to the right shoulder or scapula (remember that in acute pancreatitis attack-like pain is localized in the pancreatic region of the abdomen or closer to the left subcostal area), during the attack, patients usually behave restlessly: long can not find a comfortable body position to relieve pain. On the 2-3rd day after the onset of a painful attack is often noted jaundice of the skin and sclera, -expressed in varying degrees, while the urine acquires the color of dark beer.
As already mentioned, an attack of acute cholecystitis appears a few hours later (sometimes in 2-3 hours) After consuming spicy or fatty food cholecystitis is aggravated. Doctors, by the way, it is well known that house calls about "strictly cholecystitis are noticeably more frequent after the holidays.

In some cases, it can develop after several attacks of acute cholecystitis, especially in the presence of stones in the biliary tributaries and gallbladder. Often the disease develops without a previous pathology of the digestive organs and then proceeds in the form of chronic stone-free cholecystitis.
