Ulcerative colitis (UC) is idiopathic, chronic and relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. Factors which initiate and perpetuate UC are not well understood. It is still unclear if any relationship exists between cytokines, oxidative stress, gastrointestinal (GI) motility, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in UC patients.
