The required nutrient if not get absorbed properly then the undigested part has to be retained for a long time in colon part (large intestines ). Where absorption of nutrients from the food takes place on a large basic. In order to absorb required nutrients colon needs to perform again and again and load on it goes to increasing which ultimately leads to inflammation and swelling of colon which is called “Colitis”
