Oh I hear ya!! It's really tough. I have days that are SO frustrating. I am really lucky that I found a new doc over the past few years. She's very thorough and willing to really listen and help. I have had docs in the past give me the "it's IBS, eat more fiber" and run me out the door... So, I'm glad I have agood doc. That said, with inconclusive biopsies and such, she's at a dead end. Doesn't want to give meds if not neccesary, but doesn't want me bleeding. it's so tough--and a fuzzy line. I can tell you my colonoscopy showed inflamation that looked like colitis, yet my biopsies were negative. I had TWO colonoscopies that showed this. (yuck!)
I agree, I hate that you're suffering, but its's so supportive to have people to discuss this with. It's a bit embarassing to discuss, so I appreciate these boards so much.
Hang in there--I've found dietary changes help the most. I do low fiber, low fat, small meals, no dairy, no red meat. That helps me out quite a bit. I miss eating normally, but I am thankful for mostly good days!
