The latest stool culture for Shigella toxin E. Coli (STEC) has come positive. Has anyone got positive and what was done to fix it?

Here's something from the CDC on STEC infections: /www.cdc.gov/ecoli/general/index.html

Could this be the cause for 4 years of colitis?

I can't imagine so. Sounds like a bug you caught somewhere, maybe recently. I cannot imagine it has been going on for 4 years. More like we're more prone to stuff like that with UC. Dunno ask the doctors and see how you feel once it is cleared up.
