Do you mean campylobacter? I totally empathise, I caught it in Africa and was ill with post- infectious inflammation for years, the doctor couldn't do much for me at the time. I was investigated with a barium meal and a sigmoidoscopy. Very nasty illness. I'm having a significant flare up now which my gp thinks could be crohns/colitis. Hope your mum gets better soon
