turn for the worst almost over night? ( have been great lately)

hey guys, a few months ago i was on this forum alot as i was really suffering and was really considering getting my guts chopped out.

i started LDN and ever since have felt great, pain gone, frequency down to roughly 3 times a day and probably the best ive felt since i was diagnosed when i was 8 ( im 20 now)

anyway over a few days i started getting abit of pain and urgency, no blood but my stools were bright bright yellow. i thought it was my colazide so i stopped taking it for a few days to see, made no difference.... anyway over the last couple of days have been some of the worst i have ever had. extreme stabbing abdominal pain about every 30 minutes and the urge to go to the toilet with yellow stool being passed, i went to the toilet about 30 times on saturday.

the pain seems to have subusided and is less frequent but i still get it every hour or couple of hours and am still passing yellow stools some with undigested food in them.

does anyone have any suggestions? i am hoping it is food poisoning or a bug and not the start of a huge flare up because it seems to have come on too quickly. ive had UC more then half my life so i normall know how my flare ups start up and this isnt how.

any thoughts or ideas would be great

thanks

Anthonyv,

I'm so sorry you're feeling so lousy.

Sounds like either food poisoning or a major intestinal bug to me.

I would suggest going on bowel rest, just do liquids for a few days - protein shakes with almond milk will ensure you're getting some good amino acids.

Also for the D, start taking some L-Glutamine powder with a little water on an empty stomach.

That should help alot.

On a side note, I'm happy to see the LDN has worked so well for you.

What about calling your doctor and having tests done? The bright yellow #2 for no reason would make me worry unless you ate something that color. I wouldn't wait if your # of BM's is that high. Nip it in the bud.

thanks for the replies guys, i made a full recovery from the symptoms and for 2 days was perfectly normal and then yesterday they started coming back. i dont think it is my UC because you don't just have completely normal days in the middle of flares and i have had UC for more then half my life and know my` body. i will contact my doc next week to get a stool sample test, i think it could be a bacterial thing
