Hi so what treatment are they giving you as this is quite a serious illness.

How were you diagnosed, was it with a camera

MRI, so now to go for scope to check the bowel further, diagnosis is explaining symptoms more, also sending letter to my GP to prescribe medication,

Hi if they are allowing you to go and see your GP then I'm glad to say the chances are its not too much of a problem, have you now got medication for it, laxatives, change of diet and exercise help, have they mentioned colitis or chrones, these can be the cause or just plain constipation, have you had food poisoning lately

Hi, I have UC in the rectum , I also suffer from fibromyalgia , and got intolerant to certain foods including medication, I was taking softners but they were had my bowel really swollen and very sore , bladder was really sore aswell, so has sent a letter to my GP with a name of a tablet that might agree with me, and also scope to be done, the bowel just before the rectum is where the mega colon is, depending what he finds with the scope will determine other treatment,

Ha that explains why you have it, I also have Ulcerative Colitis, no fun is it, I have to keep very regular to ward off any problems, I hope he gives you something soon, I use lots of tumeric and boiled banana skins
