Hi all hope all is wellI have been suffering with suspected ulcerative colitis for a while now and have lately started to feel nauseous and not wanting to eat much especially in the morning. I go dizzy alot too and have daily urgency to pass BM every morning most times quite soft with blood. I eat only oats,fish,rice,pasta and gluten free crackers and bread and dairy free almond milk and dairy free cheese. Despite this my calprotectin remains at level 1800. I get no stomach pains just lots of wind if I was to eat something that is not on the list then I get lots of noises in my stomach and much more blood upon BM. This has been going on for a long time. Had CT scan showed nothing and have been long awaiting to see gastro last appointment was cancelled and rescheduled to next month. Just wondering if anyone else feels nauseous and has lack of appetite and very low energy with alot of joint pains ? I'm going to ask for a sigmoidoscopy to hope that they can find what it is without having to have a full colonoscopy as I'm far too worried about it. I know stress plays no part for me as I am under alot of emotional stress but food is my enemy as soon as I consume anything that I shouldn't my symptoms get extremely worse. Strangely my daughter has the same symptoms but calprotectin is normal and she has more constipation with blood on BM rather than loose BM. She also can't eat gluten or dairy and has joint pain. Is strange how we both began these symptoms within a space of a few months apart. My daughter is 17 and I'm 38 so weather it is affecting me worse as I'm older I really don't know.
Just very weird to have woken up one day and lost ability to eat the way we had always ate.
We did begin a diet and exercise routine just before this all came about and was eating lots of salads,fresh fruit and gut friendly yogurts so not sure if this created any changes. Also we had relocated to the countryside too a few months before too.
