Do you suffer from diarrhea that has persisted every day for weeks? You may have microscopic colitis! In this video I discuss what defines microscopic colitis. I present who is at risk of getting microscopic colitis, including common medications that can cause microscopic colitis. I also discuss how diarrhea is evaluated, to exclude other much more common causes of diarrhea, evaluate for problems of electrolytes, anemia, and protein that result from chronic diarrhea, and perform a colonoscopy to evaluate for microscopic colitis.
