Ulcerative colitis can occur in people of any age, but it usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30, and less frequently between 50 and 70 years of age. Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the large intestine and rectum. Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the immune system attacks part of the body. Treatment For colitis aims to control the inflammation, reduce symptoms, and replace any lost fluids and nutrients. Treatment generally includes a diet low in fat and fibre, high in protein and easily digestible carbohydrate, and free of lactose.
