The doctor told me I have ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis. I ate a salad the other day and ended up with such a horrible stomach ache upper stomach I had to lay down and was in the fetal position. The pain radiated from front to back like a block of pain. Could this have been the diverticulitis? Then at times I have burning in the butt lower stomach and on the left side of the stomach like someone put a cigarette out on my insides. Is this the ulcerative colitis?
What can I do to get these conditions under control? I am diabetic so some things on the bland diet I cant eat. What would you recommend to get me straightened out. Every time I eat my stomach swells like a whale. I feel better when I don't eat and have a liquid protein drink...Always feel achy inside...lupus, fibroymylgia, disc problems, stomach (Gerd) which leaves me with chest pains all the time.
Thanks,
La Rue
Dear La Rue,
I am almost at a loss for words on this one. You poor thing. I don't see what keeps you from swallowing a bullet, or committing harakiri.
Maybe you should go to your current doctor's house, sit on his front porch and eat a salad. Once he sees the agony that you are in, then he can refer you to a specialist that can offer you some assistance with all your many ailments.
PoopReport just isn't the place for someone with as many things wrong with them as you have to find a quick cure, unless you are just looking for a good laugh to ease your suffering through the bitter end.
You might want to write to the producers of "House, MD" at Fox Productions to see if their writers can create some sort of medical protocol for you. This is way beyond my scope of practice.
I wish you luck in finding the right doctor to help you.
Thanks for asking Motherload!
