Hello,
You may develop colitis may be due to bacillary or amoebic or cytomegalovirus infection or opportunistic infections like isospora, cryptospora or babesia or candida.
It may be allergic to Triphala.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Get it done colonoscopy and stool examination.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
