      The article is very vague on triggers and causes. Anything acidic including orange juice, tomatoes, tomatoes sauce, anything spicy, dairy, anything greasy and do a low fiber diet. Basically he says meat and potatoes should be the mainstay of my diet.

      I have a very hard time reading about this subject. My daughter married a widower who took his wife on a honeymoon in Mexico, knowing she had this condition. She died 3 months later. Is there so much ignorance and so little science about this condition?

      My doc has been spot on for me. I do still eat the things I'm not supposed to be definitely in moderation. I am on s drug called lialda, it's an anti inflammatory and it really helps. I went without it once for almost a year when I had shit insurance and the deductible was ridiculous and I had to pay full price for this medicine $687/month. I was in agony after a few months of not watching what I ate. Bloating, cramping, loss of appetite, and then the bleeding started. Luckily I have different insurance at work now and only pay $50/month for it.

      The bleeding accompanies super urgent and uncontrollable diarrhea(sorry for being graphic).

      Lialda is one of the handful of meds I take for Crohn's. Extremely expensive. $1,000's. At a rough time in life I turned to Shire the drug producer and they filled my script for free until I had insurance so I did not have to switch meds and mess things up inside. Crohn's Disease is one of my earliest memories of life. But I am still here kicking ass : )

      The prep sucks the most. Colitis is still inflammation, not IBD, but inflammation nonetheless. i am concerned it has not been treated. Usually a short course of prednisone knocks it out.

      However, even after the inflammation has subsided you may still be left with these type of symptoms. Now you are in the world of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

      yep you got that right. they have tried and gave me a bunch of crap to try and help fix it. the bad thing for me is that even when i eat clean to prep i still get the same effect for the most part. if i am crapping solid it makes me think their is something bad wrong lol. i didnt have any issues at all until after the dysentery. since then my guts have been wrecked. only good thing that came out of it is a huge disability percentage from the va that put me at 100%. so at least they compensated me for it
