My mom is in the hospital with an e-coli infection. It is in her kidney. The doctors said she has internal bleeding somewhere in her body. I looked up her symptoms on the internet and it sounds like hemorrhagic colitis. Is this very treatable? I’m really scared. Please help me.

I am now 16 and have been adapted to a wheat free diet at 14, i have still had some problems with flare ups since but not as severe. They have diagnosed me with Colitis but could they have been wrong? Also i have strange embarrassing rashes that wont go away and have been recently fainting, haven’t hit puberty and have been severely depressed from this situation.

What are the symptoms of colitis?




I have sharp pain my lower right side of my abdomen. Is that colitis? It happened after I ate Little Caesars pizza, could it be that cheap food that caused it?

My mother is in her late 50’s, and was hospitalized about 4 days ago with vomiting and bloody diarrhea. After being misdiagnosed with "ce difficile", and having a colonoscopy, she was diagnosed with ischemic colitis. I’ve heard that this condition can range from extremely mild to needing surgery. She hasn’t kept solid food down in a week. Does anyone know what treatment/s she might require?

Thank you!!!

I was recently hospitalized due to my very first severe attack with colitis. I have always suffered along with this ailment throughout my childhood and now well into my 50’s. However, it has always subsided with a common sense diet etc but no medication. This time around I could do nothing to stop the pain and even had intestinal bleeding. The doctor released me from the hospital with a very restricted diet. I am on 2 courses of antibiotics and pain killers. I have been home for 3 days and am just beginning to feel better. I have just started eating solids like baby food, jello, toast, cottage cheese etc. Can I ever try chocolate or any of the other foods I so love again? I will be going for a colonoscopy soon and have made an appointment with another doctor. My sons have Crohn’s desease. This seems to run in our family. What else can I expect from this illness?

Do you think I have irritable bowel syndrome?




I have diaherra at least a few days out of the week with stomach cramps. When I use the bathroom the stomach cramps are somewhat relived. I ahve had these problems for years. But lately its worse, I had a colonoscopy last month so I don’t have colitis or anything and everything with my colon is normal. I go to a GI spealist this week.
The diaherra happens usually after eating greasy food like McDonalds and sometimes after Mexican food.

I went to the GI doctor recently for abdominal pain, and they did a few tests, and the doctor said that the CT scan showed inflammation of the bowel. I’m wondering if it can just be something benign or if there are other conditions that can cause this other than Crohn’s or colitis?

I am a week past finishing my 12 days course of penicillin and I have major symptoms of pseudomembranous colitis. I read that penicillin can induce this during and after therapy. I’m wondering if it will subside my itself or if I need to do anything. I dont really want to go back to my GP and she is a dunderhead and only gave me penicillin because she didnt know what else to give.
