Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory disease of the bowel. It is characterised by watery diarrhoea, usually accompanied by urgency and problems with bowel control. Often people have night-time symptoms and symptoms can be unrelenting. People affected often need to identify where toilets are when they leave the house, to avoid accidents. In some cases, people are unable to leave the house at all due to the severity of their symptoms. Symptoms can be bad and lead to a substantial loss of quality of life.

*I found the article interesting, particularly the references to inflammatory conditions like UC and Crohn's. It seems that there may still be quite a long way to go before the causes and origins of MC become known. [dmcff]
