The duration of colitis can vary widely depending on the underlying cause and individual circumstances. Acute colitis, often caused by infections or food poisoning, may last a few days to a couple of weeks. Chronic forms, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, can last for months or even be lifelong, with periods of flare-ups and remission. Treatment and management strategies play a significant role in the duration and severity of symptoms.
