Colitis and ulcerative colitis

symptoms include:

Similar symptoms to Crohn’s, but the problem is located in the colon and/or rectum; inflammation is limited to the top layer of epithelial cells (gut lining)

Symptoms may be intermittent with periods of remission

Celiac disease (autoimmune)

symptoms include:

An overt allergy to gluten (found primarily in wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt, kamut, and tritcale) and other grain proteins resulting in the autoimmune, self-cell attacking of the small intestine lining

A latent, silent, or “non-classical celiac disease” sufferer may experience symptoms that mimic those of any of the previously listed digestive conditions or any chronic inflammatory or autoimmune condition
