Colitis is usually a group of symptoms involving the GI tract consisting of cramps, diarrhea and or constipation, irregular bowel movements, and various food intolerance. The cause is often elusive. The treatment is symptomatic. That means it can be treated with antispasmodics, laxatives, etc.
With your age and duration of symptoms, one condition that should be investigated is Crohns disease or inflammatory bowel disease. If you have passing blood, it could be due to ulcerative colitis. However, patients can have diarrhea due to an intolerance of foods (FODMAP). Some patients have IBS which can result in pain, cramping, bloating with diarrhea worsened by emotional stress and or trigger foods. Google FODMAP diet and you will see things to avoid or limit. you should see a GI doctor at your local clinic and be checked for celiac disease which is a true autoimmune disease against gluten containing products. IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease which can be due to Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis) and present with similiar type symptoms. If the symptoms are waking you up in the middle of the night, then you should consider getting a colonoscopy to exclude not only IBD but other structural etiologies. Hope this is helpful.
