NO. Colitis is any inflammation for any reason. UC is a chronic inflammation associated with an auto-immune response. UC can be difficult to manage, although some get long lasting remission.
Infectious colitis, ischemic colitis, or other unknown colitis can usually be diagnosed and treated so that a cure is obtained.
Some of the anti-inflammatory meds or steroids used in treatment may be the same, but UC is a very different business.
