Can it fix itself?

[Msmal24]

I recently saw a gastrointerologist and was diagnosed with infectious colitis, he said it would just clear up on it's own. No antibiotics or anything. Is this right, will it just cure itself?

Most types of infectious colitis will clear up on their own without antibiotics.  If you're not better within a week or so, contact your gastroenterologist again.

Antibiotics will typically cause more GI issues than they will fix. Try some probiotics. They help add good bacteria to your gastro system, and will help on symptoms while your body heals the infection.
