That means that they ruled out bacteria as a cause of the inflammation and they don't know what is causing the inflammation. Non-specific colitis can be microscopic colitis, in some cases.

only in large intestine? or ?

No, everywhere. Gastroenteritis refers to inflammation in the stomach and small intestine. Coilitis refers to inflammation in the large intestine (colon). Non-infective means that they do not believe that it is caused by bacterial or viral infection.

Therefore it could be caused by a food or medication allergy, or an allergy to something else in your environment.

Could it be autoimunne?

in line with Tex's reply above

for many of us here, there is not one single trigger- it can be multiple triggers that the inflammation builds up over time and then chronic symptoms is the 'tipping point' or 'overflow point' that the body can not manage the inflammation anymore.

it can be a combo of any, some or all of the following;
- food and drink
- medications (nsaids, some antidepressants, PPI's )
- external triggers like pollution, chemicals, mold, biotoxins (ie parasites)
- toxic metals (keep in mind that we can inherit some toxic metals and over time with deficiencies in other key nutrients they can increase in toxicity)
- stress - mental, emotional, physical stress. this can be from work/career, study, emotional events in childhood, family health, etc

I dont drink coffe of alcohol for two and a half years, stress was big issue for me ithat long i can say, college and other things.

avoiding coffee and alcohol is a good start - avoiding other high inflammatory items like Gluten and Dairy will help alot
if you had long periods of stress, i would do some reading on Adrenal Fatigue - this is not always acknowledged by main stream medicine, long story short your body is deficient in key nutrients which has flow on impact with various health issues.
One of these key nutrients for adrenals is zinc - of interest increased parasite activity is linked to low zinc.

regarding the parasites - some countries will do poop/bowel movement testing for mainstream parasites. sometimes you have to source a functional practitioner to do more comprehensive testing (and I am not sure what the system is like in Croatia to provide further info for this)

based on what has been shared in this discussion I would suggest the following;
- follow the low inflammation gut healing eating plan that we suggest
- supplement with Vit D3 and magnesium
- do some research on adrenal fatigue /biotoxins / heavy metals etc - then source a functional doctor/practitioner that can help you figure out nutrient deficiencies etc

Yes it could. You might have autoimmune hemolytic anemia, for example, but I doubt that is the problem. If your MCHC is high, you might have macrocytic anemia. But unless your MCHC is high, none of these conditions are likely.

This is just a guess, because I don't know your MCHC, Hemacrit, and Hemaglobin test results. But if those test results indicate pernicious anemia, then this would explain your gastritis. Pernicious anemia causes an autoimmune reaction against the lining of the stomach, and this causes a form of stomach inflammation known as chronic atrophic gastritis.

The autoimmune reaction involves antibodies produced by the immune system against intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is produced in the stomach and it is essential for the absorption of vitamin B-12. Without intrinsic factor, which binds with vitamin B-12 in the stomach, the small intestine cannot absorb vitamin B-12, and this causes anemia. Pernicious anemia tends to be more common in Caucasian people of northern European ancestry than in other ethnic groups.

But maybe your doctors have already ruled out pernicious anemia.

Good Luck David.

I hope your treatment goes well. Be very, very cautious about using PPIs. In 2010, when I was in the hospital recovering from surgery, the doctor in charge insisted that I had to take a PPI. I took one each day for 3 days before I was discharged from the hospital. After that, I had serious acid reflux problems for the first time in my life. It took me about 6 months to get rid of the acid reflux problem.

In my opinion, it should be illegal for doctors to prescribe PPIs unless they are absolutely essential to save someone's life. They cause the very problems that they are prescribed to treat. Doctors love them, because they bring in a lot of repeat business from patients who are unable to wean off them. It's much safer to treat gastritis with an H2 blocker.

Here's a link to a medical research article showing that PPIs cause heartburn, acid reflux, or dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is what you have now. How can you successfully treat a symptom by using a drug that causes that very problem?

The eating plan and supplement protocol suggested here is a very good basis that you can prevent Crohns /further issues developing.
