Brief Answer:
Yes fully curable dear.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing 'Ask a doctor' service to ask your query.
Have gone through your query and attached reports.

Answers are
1)Yes colitis means inflammation of colon. This inflammation is being caused by bacteria named pseudomonas. Once this bacteria is eliminated colitis would be cured.
2)Antibiotics mostly include antipseudomonal penicillins and cephalosporins if taken orally and carbapenems (eg, imipenem, meropenem), and aztreonam if injections are taken. However Ciprofloxacin oral continues to be the preferred drug of choice in milder cases.

Discuss the options with your doctor and you would be fine in few weeks.
