Microscopic colitis, which includes collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis, is characterized by chronic diarrhea caused by inflammation in the colon. It is not related to ulcerative colitis or to Crohn's disease, which are more severe forms of inflammatory bowel disease.

The chief complaint with both conditions is chronic watery diarrhea with no sign of blood in the stool, observes Dr. Valentine.
