Most forms of colitis are not contagious, but if it is an infectious type, then it can be. I suppose that would be different sorts of flu that go around?

It depends on what is causing the colitis whether it is contagious or not. If it is a virus or bacterial infection that is causing it, then yes, it is contagious. But, if something else is causing it, like antibiotics or an autoimmune disease, then it is not contagious.
