Ridiculous Flare SOS

Got c diff when i was a sophmore in college. dealt with the symptoms for over a month awful diarrhea and fatigue because my school health center told me it was a "virus" and would clear up. ended up in the hospital from it.

anyways its two years later ive had maybe one or two flares in between ,with the occasional upset stomach. smoking MJ usually kicks it in the butt but not this time. I excessively drank a mont h ago on my birthday and havent been the same... i ended up in the hospital a few nights ago.
NOW confused. one doctor says i have UC other says i am just very imbalanced in the gut. But these flares are not normal, i get the MOST excruciating pain in my left side ,and i mean unbearable where i have to stop what im doing and keel over and cry for a while until i have a bowel movement. ive never EVER had blood in my stool just mucus and pain. i was given dicyclomine and i take a crap ton of probiotics so do i have UC or just an irritable bowel because i never get blood. and i go to the bathroom maybe 5 times a day when its flaring straight D, but have had normal bowel movements for the past three days of just eating rice, eggs plain stuff ect. until i ate toast before and almost fell over from the pain in my abdomen.

i have an appointment in a month with my doctor, should i ask for a daily med//

I had a colonoscopy yes a year ago. the c diff is gone one doctor said i have UC. he is also known in my town for misdiagnosis...hence why i drive an hour now to go to a woman whos a family friend.

she looked at my scans and paper work and just perscribed my dicyclomine because i was stressed about flares while away at college i guess to ease my anxiety about not having ANY meds for this.. and also a very strong probiotic

i take a ton of probiotics a day but this flare isnt going away.. it was fine until i ate a piece of white bread which immediately sent shooting pains thru my stomach and ended up in the bathroom. feel much better after the D occured.

You have to have a GI and a diagnosis from a GI.

I think you need to go to a GI and get a proper diagnosis. Do whatever tests need to be done to get to the diagnosis so that you can have it treated appropriately. I would not wait a month for this appt. if you are in excruciating pain.

I definitely think you need to get a real diagnosis before you can get proper treatment. You should see a good gi ASAP and get stool tests, blood work and a scope with biopsies. Until then, there isn't much you can do so far as treatment. If diet works for you, maybe you can eat bland for a few days and the pain will subside. That would be atypical of uc though and more likely to work for somdone with a food intolerance.
