I was diagnosed with ischemic colitis 3 weeks ago and am wondering if it could come back again. I was in hospital for 8 days with the first 4 days passing only blood.

Ischaemic colitis is usually caused by lack of blood supply to the bowels. Did they find the cause as to why it happened? to avoid re-occurrence it may be necessary to take medication called vasodilators to widen the arteries to the tissues that surround and serve blood and oxygen to the bowel.
