Why are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) bad for inflammatory related diseases like ulcerative colitis? Why don't they help reduce the inflammation? Aren't they anti-inflammatory?

The aren’t bad for inflammatory conditions in general - they’re actually very good for them. 

They’re just not very good for bowel conditions in general as they can irritate the gastric mucosa - making any inflammation there worse (even eventually causing ulcers themselves). 

Hope that helps?
