I'm ready to go nuts here everyone. I need your help. I was hospitalized at the beginning of the year with really bad diarrhea and dehydration. Everyone thought it was a really really bad bug that just took forever to get over but ever since then my bowel has been ruining my life. I had one sigmoidoscopy at the beginning of the year which didnt show anything worth worrying about but I had another just a few weeks ago after finding blood in my stool and apparently now the doctor thinks i may have ulcerative colitis or crohn's. every morning i wake up with horrible stomach cramps, really bad wind...normally a loose motion...but lately it's been getting worse and i am also getting a pain in the middle of my chest, in between my rib cage. it almost feels like pressure! the diarrhea has started back up and it's ruining my life, im too scared to go out and every night i fall asleep and then wake up in pain! i've been having a gluten free and dairy free diet but it hasn't seemed to help much! i feel lik the doctors are missing something! please help

ulcerative colitis or crohn's
I've had 40 years of experience treating myself for this. I was hospitalized 3 times when I was a child/teenager and decided to walk away from conventional medicine and try alternative medicine. I've had great success and would be happy to discuss it with you.

I need help too!
I have been dealing with Ulcerative colitis for 2 years now. I have been on every type of medication and all of them have such bad side effects that I could not continue to use them. Recently with a mostly raw food diet I went for 45 days with no symptoms and no medication. Unfortunately I am sick again and not sure what to do. I could use some advice.
