- It`s possible to presume that, other infectious causes include tuberculosis, gastrointestinal (GI) infections with Yersinia, Salmonella, or Shigella, and systemic fungal infections. Less common causes include drug sensitivity (sulfonamides, salicylates, iodides, oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy), and a variety of systemic diseases, most often inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn`s disease more than ulcerative colitis) and sarcoidosis. Bowel is the long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion. The bowel has two parts, the small bowel and the large bowel. Also called intestine.

This condition is marked by abdominal pain, cramps, and loose discharges of pus, blood, and mucus from the bowel. Therapy, treatment.
