Allergic Reaction Causing Colitis in Some Cases?
I will preface this by saying that is post is personal opinion, although that of a professional. It suggests that Ulcerative Colitis, something with no specific known cause, could in come cases be the result of food allergies.

I found this interesting because I believe food allergies are tied to so many diseases with no known causes, and this could be a perfect example.
