Second stint in ICU and afraid
It turns out I had ulcerative
colitis
which remained undiagnosed during my stay until I became so ill that I had to have emergency surgery leading me to have an ileostomy, so when I eventually came round after ICU I discovered I now have to poo in a bag. š Both times I was in ICU I suffered from delirium

I have been unable to find any photos online of stool from someone with ulcerative

Do you ever get different types of stools in the same bowel movement?
Is this
colitis
? C.diff? Something else? Has anyone had this experience post antibiotic use? Thank you so much š„°ā¤ļø

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative
colitis
, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement of prednisolone.

IBD symptoms with no diagnosis
I knew for sure now that my IBS had turned into IBD, or at least some form of
colitis
. I just had a CT scan done last night and the results show "no visible sign of bowel inflammation." This is shocking because I'm in real pain now and experiencing similar symptoms as folks with UC or Crohn's.

New here....
While I have been experiencing
colitis
since that time, I had my first full on flair yesterday and it terrified me. I just thought I had problems. I won't be eating apples again let's just say. Applesauce only for this gal from now on. I guess one can say I am overwhelmed on all of
colitis
.

PMR, Probiotics and digestive diseases
I have celiac disease and microscopic
colitis
in addition to PMR. I recently had a bad reaction to a combination of probiotics. There are so many types of probiotics and combinations out there it's had to know what might work.

colitis
. After liver biopsy They had diagnosed liver cirrhosis 4 months ago, but now āa coarse liver in keeping with chronic liver diseaseā What does this mean?

Bowel inflammation - any link to PMR/GCA?
He has requested a colonoscopy and agreed with me it might be microscopic
colitis
, which a friend has. He said that the calprotectin test measures inflammation in the gut, but that the source of that inflammation could be elsewhere in the body.

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease.
Due to Ulcerative
Colitis
, unable to have radiotherapy, so now it's incurable. In March 2023, diagnosed with this new cancer. The frequent leaking was assumed to be the cause of the rash around the scrotum. Please be aware of this rash which is often mistaken for eczema and often is missed.

Advise on these pictures please?
From a phone call with the doctor he thinks it might be
colitis
. I also had a bit of a high liver count previously and have high cholesterol so they wan to do a blood check and test for this too, along with a stool test. Wondering - should I panic or what?

Anyone on W&W with CLL have sudden acute diarrhea?
Google, I saw that fecal calprotectin could be related to
colitis
or to cancer. Am scheduled for a colonoscopy in a week to rule out
colitis
and polyps etc, but now worrying about how worried about a bad prognosis I should be. Especially since people with CLL are prone to secondary cancers.
