Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 64-year-old female who is in moderate health. After a months-long bout of diarrhea, blood work, and a colonoscopy, I’ve been diagnosed with microscopic colitis. After a round of budesonide, my symptoms subsided, and I had a normal few months. Can you explain what microscopic colitis is, what causes it, and how to avoid flares? -- K.G.
