Lymphatic Colitis The condition known as lymphatic colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine (colon) that results in chronic watery diarrhea over an extended period of time. Due to the fact that colon tissue must be examined under a microscope to be identified, it was given the label "microscopical colon disease" because the tissue may appear normal during a colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy procedure. There are several forms of microscopic colitis, each with its own
Colitis with a thick layer of protein (collagen) developing in the colon tissue is known as collagenous colitis.
Lymphocytic colitis is a type of colon disease in which white blood cells (lymphocytes) accumulate in colon tissue.
Colitis with mixed collagenous and lymphocytic characteristics is a type of microscopic colitis that is not completely resolved.
