(((Jennifer))) Sorry to hear this): I know how miserable it can be. Both me & my mom have been on antibiotics for other conditions & they caused the colitis. Running to the bathroom is my least favorite activity, but I really had trouble with taking ANOTHER antibiotic. That always discombobulates me, makes me more anxious & I actually believe that tension caused the colitis to be worse.


Try the belly breathing & meditation. I think that's the key. RELAX as much as you can. I hope you feel better soon. This will pass but never soon enough. GL! jan
