I was recently hospitalized due to my very first severe attack with colitis. I have always suffered along with this ailment throughout my childhood and now well into my 50’s. However, it has always subsided with a common sense diet etc but no medication. This time around I could do nothing to stop the pain and even had intestinal bleeding. The doctor released me from the hospital with a very restricted diet. I am on 2 courses of antibiotics and pain killers. I have been home for 3 days and am just beginning to feel better. I have just started eating solids like baby food, jello, toast, cottage cheese etc. Can I ever try chocolate or any of the other foods I so love again? I will be going for a colonoscopy soon and have made an appointment with another doctor. My sons have Crohn’s desease. This seems to run in our family. What else can I expect from this illness?

I know endometriosis sufferers are much more likely to have other auto-immune diseases than non-endo sufferers. I was diagnosed with endo in 2006 and ulcerative colitis this year.

I have gone to many doctors, and the best solutions they offered were surgery and taking a bunch of pills and suppositories that don’t really work. I don’t know what to do and the symptoms havent gotten better after a month. What should I do?
