HELP!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN DIAGONOSED WITH SPASTIC COLON SINCE 2003. I HAVE THESE ATTACKS THAT INCLUDE SEVERE STOMACH CRAMPS THAT I SOMETIMES PASS OUT FROM, DIARRHEA (5-7 DAYS A WEEK), SHORTNESS OF BREATH, RAPID HEARTBEAT, PROFUSE SWEATING WHERE I AM DRENCHED HEAD TO TOE, FEELING HOT, DIZZY, THEN CHILLED TO THE BONE WHERE BY BODY TEMP DROPS TO ABOUT 94 OR 92, MY STOMACH TO THE TOUCH TURNS ICE COLD. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SPASTIC COLON TO ANYONE? DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS? I HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED IN 03 WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, AS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING MY SYMPTOMS AT THE TIME. WRONG!!! EVERYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORST. I’VE HAD 5 COLONOSCOPIES SINCE 03, NO CANCER BUT A POLOP. 2 ENDOSCOPIES THE LAST ONE SHOWED DIALATED BLOOD VESSELS. MY STOMACH IS SO SENSITIVE I CAN NOT TAKE PAIN KILLERS OR 98% OF MEDS BECAUSE MY STOMACH WILL BLEED AND HURT AS IF IT’S BEING RIPPED APART. I SUFFER EVERYDAY IN PAIN. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE…:-(
I have tried over 30 different prescription’s with no help or relief. The last was belladonna which i could not function with.

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?
