Question: What to do with extreme stomach disease!?
I have been diagnosed with severe colitis which is an inflammatory bowel disease last May!. No medicine has seemed to help me, we have even tried steriods!.!.but the diarreha and vomitting has increased in amounts and intensity!. My gastrologist says there is nothing left to give me to stop the cycle!. I have lost 30 pounds since May and the hospitals are not sure what to do with me!. I keep myself hydrated the best i can and try to replace the food i loose but i can't seem to keep anything in!. I tried to reduce any stress that may inhance the symptoms with lexpro and klonopin, i am taking lomotil and immodium which do not help!. i use the bathroom 10-40 times a day with a few bouts of vommitting with fluid!. any suggestions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
i was diagnosed with crohns disease!. but i think its more than that!.

first, i know Imodium helps but take a break from it!. keeping hydrated is really good!.

i strongly suggest doing an elimination diet!. this means for me stop eating for a few days!. then slowly introduce foods that are very mild!. plain oatmeal, or rice!. stay away from any wheat products!. they are an allergen and irritant!.
jello is a good option, and does not stress the digestive system, and helps keep you hydrated!. simple veg or chicken broth is good too!.

and this is from me to you, painkillers!.
AVOID= aspirin, and ibuprofen!. they are bad for any tummy issue!. sometimes tylenol can be used but not always, again personal from me to you is that i have found that vicodin helps immensely!. sometimes you just need a break from the pain!. talk to the doc about it!. it can be strong for some, so if you do use it then keep yourself hydrated when you take it!.

the docs, sometimes they give up, sometimes all they want to do is shove tubes up your bum!. been there done that, sometimes they are idiots!.
but sometimes, you need to find a better doc!. one who will listen and understand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i never heard of vomiting from colitis, but i can't help but wonder if you have gastroparesis or possibly both diseases!.

my mom was on baby food for quite some time to help heal her ulcerative colitus and i personally feel that activia yogurt is helpful to me!.

i would also take additional probiotics!.

why don't you seek another opinion!.

good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
