Unclear diagnosis but symptoms are much like Ulceratice Colitis

The diagnosis is rectitis, also known as proctitis, but it doesn't appear to be either Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis. I already failed to respond to two biologicals and mesalamine. The only thing that brings some transient relief is a hydrocortisone enema, but I need to find a more long-term solution because my quality of life is going down the tubes. I am a very active person who enjoys life.

@claudiod Have you had your stool tested for bateria or parasites and/or a colonoscopy? Microscopic Colitis can only be detected with a microscope through a colonoscopy.

@claudiod When I was diagnosed 30 years ago I was told that I had ulcerative colitis. Many years later I found out it was Crohn's. So I'm not sure that the diagnosis that accurate however like I Told HopesSeeker, I am just now on low dose Naltrexone for my Crohn's and also my several autoimmune diseases . I encourage you To read about it and then find a doctor who will give it to you. It is get it good for your immune system and for any diarrhea in your system. Give it a chance, it might be just what you need. I get no side effects from it.
