Hey! I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind! :) I know this is not anxiety related but, when you had the colitis did you have real bad stomach pain in the center of your stomach and diarrhea? What did they put you on to cure it? How long did it take for you to feel better after taking the meds? I know this is a lot of questions and if you don't won't to answer that is okay.......just tell me to shut up and mind my own business!! LOL!! :)


Hugs,

It's ok, Jennifer. It's a slow day & I'm printing recipes from my Kraft recipe box:)


Yes. I had the pain & diarrhea. I felt the pain was located in the center, just a little to the left. It sort of moved across about 4 to 6 inches, like a very bad cramp. Just drinking a glass of water would disturb it. I drank fluids anyway & made them easily digested stuff like the broths & buollions. (sp?) I took tylenol for it, but that flagyl must be the antibiotic of choice. I took it, as well as my mom. I was feeling better & things firmed up(TMI?) in about 5 days. I was *cured* in about 10 days. My mom took longer & had to have her flagyl renewed. She has had colitis all her life though. HTH (((hugs))) jan
