Redness and inflammation of the colon, known as colitis, can be caused by a variety of factors. Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are common culprits. Infections, such as those caused by bacteria or viruses, can also lead to colitis. Additionally, certain medications, autoimmune disorders, and poor blood supply to the colon can contribute to inflammation and redness in the colon.
